We understand the demand for curriculum by the founders of Ryerson Incubators/Accelerators that will support them in their pursuit of capital. It is with this understanding that we have partnered with NACO Canada to deliver valuable investor-readiness workshops and one-on-one coaching to get these businesses “investor-ready”.
In collaboration with Ryerson instructors, this program will help founders to gain the information required and attain the coaching needed in raising capital and resources to transform their good ideas into investor-ready companies.
The Investor Readiness Program will allow participants to virtually meet investors through 3 online sessions. There will also be 1-on-1 sessions available that will explore:
- Getting ready for investment
- Additional customer/market validation
- Financial analysis
- Marketplace insights
- Pitch deck preparation
Needs for each company will vary based on the current status, but in general 1-on-1 sessions will tackle the above topics. Angels will look at all aspect of investment readiness and make recommendations to angel groups/investors to those that are ready for funding that will positively impact their business.
