'How To Feel Good Fundraising' is a can't-miss opportunity to learn from founders on the journey to raising aligned funding while feeling good about fundraising - and how you can too!
Hermione Taylor
Founder of Do Nation and member of the Alternative Funding School Kinship
While studying at The Alternative Funding School, Hermione Taylor discovered a funding model called Equity For Good (“EfG”) - rooted in a legally-binding pledge made by investors, it's gaining traction with many founders, and Hermione will walk you through her personal motivation for fundraising using this model.
Simon Kohl
Founder of Future.Coop
Simon Köhl, founded the non-profit open learning platform Serlo while still in secondary school. Serlo now provides community-curated learning resources to over 1 million students per month for free. He is also a co-founder and ambassador at the Foundation for Steward-Owned Companies.
Simon will share his fundraising journey for future.coop and how he developed his own debt financing instrument as a tool to raise independent funding for future.coop.
Esme Verity
Fundraising coach and Founder, Considered Capital
Esme Verity has spent five years connecting founders with the resources and support they need to fundraise confidently. Having been at the coalface of fundraising across hundreds of startups, Esme has repeatedly seen that a founder's confidence can suffer when not shown all funding options, which leads many to hit a wall and creates a blocker for business growth.
We’re empowering you to explore the many other funding routes ahead and find your fundraising confidence today!
Kate Fleming
Founder of Horizontal and member of the Alternative Funding School Kinship
horizontl is an early-stage for-profit tech social enterprise with a mission to reduce violence, abuse, and exploitation in full-service sex work.
Bootstrapped to date, Kate is now fundraising for patient, blended capital to support both tech R&D and non-profit community work that brings sex workers into the design and governance process. This includes £1M in redeemable equity funding from mission-aligned impact investors and/or program-related investment and £400K in grants and philanthropy.
This masterclass is special because you'll be in the (virtual) room full of founders who are where you are right now.
We're constantly hearing that founders (especially women) are struggling with:
- the fear of the same funding outcomes as before
- navigating investor rejections
- feeling lost on the journey to raising capital and who are, like you, ready to flip the feelings on fundraising so that you can all go out and get the funding you deserve
This is the moment you've been waiting for to take your fundraising confidence to the next level. Don't just take our word for it – past attendees have raved about the value and impact of attending our webinars
