Programme highlight – Fundraising: Turning the Cash you Raise into Business Value

Fundraising is a beginning, not an end and it is what you do with it that counts. A panel of experts with high profile success stories to tell and experience in the key disciplines of value creation will discuss what it takes to go from funded to successful at Venturefest on 29 June. They will share their insights into how value is created by capital at all phases of a business’s life. By having a clear understanding of what comes next, participants will be better positioned to plan, target and execute their own fundraising. The panelists in this session will include:

• Rahul Powar, Founder & CEO of Redsift and part of the founding team and principal technical architect for Shazam Entertainment, the musical recognition app.
• William Reeve, serial entrepreneur and internet investor, previously served as non-exec Chairman or Director of several high-growth businesses including Graze.com, Paddy Power PLC and Zoopla.co.uk.
• James Hall, Associate Fellow at Saïd Business School, he previously served as the Executive Director of the School’s Entrepreneurship Centre and led the development of the Launch Pad community.

The session will be moderated by Tom Bradley, Oxford Capital. Find out more or view the full programme one our website.
