Course details

You have a breakthrough idea that you think can become a unicorn and interest people. You may have already told a couple of your friends about it and they found it exciting. Perhaps you can't wait to start implementing the idea as soon as possible. However, you start wondering: How do I raise funds and find an investor for my startup? After all, creating a new project requires investment. Additionally, you will have to wait for months to break even.

This course aims to help aspiring entrepreneurs navigate this difficult topic and attract investment into a startup. We will teach you how to test the viability of an idea, select an investor, present your idea convincingly, and negotiate favourable deal terms. During the training, you will collect materials that you can use later when talking to investors. The course will also be useful for those who have already tried their hand at entrepreneurship, but want to refresh and systematise their knowledge, as well as receive helpful document templates.

Any entrepreneur would tell you that a truly exciting moment in their life happens when an investor signs a check to invest in their project. So, taking our course will help you master the skills and tools needed to achieve this goal!
