Course structure and outcomes

The programme is delivered across three distinct modules. Each module consists of self-paced online learning, including a local case study, and is followed by a live, interactive online session.

Module 1: Understand the investment landscape

This first module provides a clear map of the start-up funding world. You will learn the language of investors and identify where your venture currently sits on the funding ladder. The module concludes with a one-hour live online coaching session to consolidate your learning.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Define the different stages of start-up investment, from pre-seed to Series A and beyond.
  • Identify the most appropriate funding sources for your current stage.
  • Recognise the key expectations of investors at each step of the journey.

Module 2: Develop your blended income strategy

Investors want to see more than just a good idea; they want to see a smart financial strategy. In this module, you will learn how to build a realistic plan that blends different income sources to fuel your growth and impress investors. This module is followed by a one-hour live online coaching session to refine your strategy.

  • Understand how grants, sales revenue, and equity investment can work together.
  • Develop a funding strategy that is perfectly aligned with your current stage of development.
  • Identify the critical evidence and traction metrics that investors need to see.

Module 3: Plan your successful investment campaign

Raising investment is a project in itself. This final module breaks down the process into clear, manageable stages. You will learn how to prepare for, run, and close a successful funding round, and you will create a top-level strategy to test with experts. The programme culminates in a two-hour live online feedback session, where you will discuss your strategy with regional investment support professionals.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:
