A mixture of talks, workshops, mentoring and a lot of rolling up your sleeves and working on your business.

Delivery & Format

The Get Funding Fit programme is delivered in person to help founders connect with one another and be a part of an entrepreneurial community. We’re running Cohort 2 over 2 days and it’s vital that you are able to attend both days. A few weeks later, we’ll run peer feedback sessions for pitches, and a few weeks after that you’ll have the option to pitch to angels and VCs at our in-person investor lounge.
