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!

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
