Startup funding
Prepare for startup funding and angel investment.
Startup funding conversations go better when the work is done early. Whether you are approaching angel investment or a later round, this programme helps you sharpen your investor narrative, gather evidence, test your business model and practise your pitch.
It prepares you for those conversations; it does not guarantee investment. Founders can also meet investors through startup contests and showcases across the Lemon Ideas ecosystem.
