Changing the world requires capital. But the art of fundraising is often a mystery.
Where do you start? Where do valuations get plucked from? Does the investor matter more than the money? Or the money more than the investor? An investor says yes, then what?
At this special Hunter Innovation Festival panel, we bring together the architects of the future and the investors that make it possible . Hear from the founders making history and the investors backing their vision as they take you behind-the-scenes of the deals making news.
They will unpack the highs, lows and realities of what it takes to raise capital in 2025.
Trust us, this is a panel that founders, funders and the plain-old curious can’t afford to miss.
