Recently, we hosted two highly impactful sessions that left participants inspired and better equipped to navigate the complex world of investments and capital raising.   The session, "Basics of Investments and Capital," led by the experienced Hanne Mette Kristensen from The Life Science Cluster in Norway, was an eye-opener for many. 🌟 Hanne Mette’s wealth of experience as a CEO, investor, and financial advisor provided startups with essential tools to master due diligence, build investor-ready business cases, and engage in successful investor dialogues.   Key takeaways:  ✅ Prepare thoroughly for due diligence.  ✅ Build a strong business case before meeting investors.  ✅ Understand and manage investor expectations.   The second session, "How Venture Capital Works & the Key Elements of Raising Capital," was led by the brilliant Thomas Unt, a seasoned expert in finance and life sciences. This camp provided invaluable insights into the VC world—from investor categories to term sheets, legal essentials, and crafting a strategy to make your company investable. Thomas shared actionable strategies that participants could directly apply to their own startups.   Key takeaways:  💡 Know your customer (VCs) before raising capital.  💡 Understand key driving forces behind VC investments 💡 Build an investible equity story   These sessions have been game-changers for life science startups looking to navigate the challenging world of capital raising and investor relations.
