• Significantly reduced barriers for under-represented managers
• 6 days of fundraising workshops from experts

Funding Venture Conference
Each year, we put on a gathering in London for Limited Partners and Family Offices interested in meeting 20 of the next generation of VC fund managers.
The day involves a programme of panel discussions, curated round tables and networking opportunities with like-minded investors.
It is invite-only and free to attend.
Demystifying Venture Capital Term Sheets
The objective of the report is to increase transparency in the early-stage fundraising ecosystem by demystifying the world of term sheets for founders, as well as providing benchmarks for VCs on how their peers are investing and how competitive their terms are.
We want to give founders the know-how to be able to understand the key components of a term sheet. We hope it will be a useful benchmark, even for founders who have raised capital previously.
