Investor Readiness Bootcamp

Strategic Growth Partner for Early Tech Founders

If you’re planning to raise your first round in the next 3–6 months, this session is designed to get you investor-ready by working directly on your company.

The Investor Readiness Bootcamp 2026 is a focused, one-day, in-person working session for pre-seed tech founders who already have an MVP or early traction and need clarity on how to position their company for investors.

This is not a lecture-based program.

Throughout the day, founders work directly on their own fundraising strategy using their laptops and a dedicated board space. The session is designed to help you structure decisions, refine your positioning, and identify risks before entering investor conversations.

WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

By the end of the day, you will have:

• A structured fundraising strategy tailored to your company
• A refined investor narrative aligned with how investors think
• Clear decisions on valuation, structure, and investor targeting
• Identified key risks and gaps that could impact your raise
• A clearer understanding of how investors evaluate opportunities and make decisions

HOW THE DAY WORKS

This is a working session, not a lecture.

Each block is designed for you to actively work on your company using your laptop and a dedicated board space.

IMPORTANT

You will be working on your own company throughout the entire session. This is not a passive learning experience.

PRICING

The registration fee is per company, with up to 2 founders included, so teams can align on strategy together.

Thanks to the support of Global Startups, GSA Ventures, and Dentons, approximately 90% of the program cost is covered.

WHO THIS IS FOR

• Founders with an MVP or early traction
• Planning to raise capital in the next 3–6 months
