Where and how to get money for startup development?

16.00
Date and time
Tuesday, 28. February 2017 16.00 - 0.00 CEST
Location
The key activity for an entrepreneur in the early stages of development is to guarantee funds for the growth and development of the company. Along with the classic 3 Fs (Friends, Family, and Fools), bootstrapping and business angels, you also have access to the public funds of the Slovenian entrepreneurship fund.
So that you will be fully prepared when the programs are announced (expected to be at the beginning of March 2017) and will only deal with filling out the project application, we prepared a series of preparatory workshops, where we will work through all key content and financial elements of the application to the programs:
- P2 – stimulation for starting innovative companies,
- SK75 – convertible loan for starting innovative companies, and
- SK200 – equity entry of the fund for the growth of innovative companies.
Why attend?
We believe that many products that could succeed on the market, don't succeed with the application to the programs, as the founders start planning the application at the last moment, which leads to them not working out the key elements of the business model, not finding key stickers for a good story and unrealistically and sloppy developing the financial plan.
What are we offering?
Together with us, you can prepare so that come application day you can answer all the key questions from the application, prepare a financial plan in accordance with the terms of the application and consequently succeed in your application. Our services are free, as we are doing them to fulfill the mission of the Venture factory, the entrepreneurial incubator of the University of Maribor.
How?
- Apply to our workshops and guarantee yourself a spot.
- We will choose the candidates that we believe have a product that is appropriate for the programs. The only condition is that you are either already our member or will become one.
- Following that is a series of intense workshops where with the guidance of an experienced mentor you will develop a business model that holds some weight, following that we will focus on storytelling for your product (of course there is no universal recipe for the perfect story, there are only some common grounds). In the last phase of the workshops, we will create a financial plan, which is also a mandatory part of the application.
- The final act is individual 1 on 1 meetings when applying for the fund, where together with the assigned mentor you will finalize your application (when the program is published).
- We will prepare you for a personal presentation in front of an expert committee, which is a component of the application to the programs.
