About this event

​Join us at Science Creates on Tuesday 24 November for a roundtable-style Lunch & Learn on Funding Deep Tech: Beyond the Equity Round with Louis Spencer (Relationship Director) and Emily Pilkington (Head of Life Sciences) from NatWest Venture Banking.

‍

​A free 90-minute session exploring funding, banking and building financial flexibility, open to Science Creates' members and external registrations. An assorted lunch buffet will be provided at the start of the session.

​Ideal for: Founders and CFOs of Deep Tech and Life Sciences businesses, from start-up through Series A.

​Please ensure you register by Tuesday 10 November.

‍

​This is deliberately not a presentation. Over lunch, we'll use a handful of prompts to open up an informal, founder-led conversation about the funding and banking decisions that often sit around an equity raise, but do not always get discussed early enough.

​This will be particularly relevant for teams thinking about their next raise, runway, banking set-up or how different sources of capital can work together.
