Financing panel

Do you want to quickly test out the financing competence of your company and get valuable feedback from multiple investors? In the financing panel your company will have a 15-20-minute presentation in front of 10-20 investors. After the presentation there will be a 20-minute conversation with the investors. Typically, there are public investors, representatives from banks and investment agencies, and private investors present in the panel.
