Discovery Foundation’s Financing the Venture Program

To set you up for success in funding your venture and ensure a long term growth trajectory all the way to an exit

Why take this program?

New ventures and startups require capital to grow and scale up. Founders not only struggle to find the capital they require; they might lack the background to successfully engage and negotiate with investors.

This program is focused on getting founders and their startups ready to attract capital and deal with all the complications of various finance forms, due diligence and ensuring enough capital is available for their venture.

The program helps you to be ready for pitching and engaging with the right investors, engaging in due diligence and using data rooms, discussing sources and funding and term sheets, understanding and negotiating valuation and managing post-investment relationships.

This course will…

set you up for success in funding your venture and ensure a long term growth trajectory all the way to an exit.
