Enter to meet impact investors and compete for a chance to win $100,000 in investments!
The Impact Investor Challenge will give you an intimate perspective on the decision-making process for impact investors, and provide you with valuable skills when it comes to pitching and fundraising.
Startup capital is essential for fuelling growth in your new business, but where to begin with fundraising?
From capital-raising strategies and angel investors to finding the right kind of capital for your business, there is a lot to wrap your head around. That’s why we created the Impact Investor Challenge, a program designed to help you understand the ins and outs of raising capital for your startup all while providing you with the opportunity to create a unique relationship with 20+ early-stage impact investors.
Run virtually, the Challenge is a combination of orientation, pitch nights, and a 7-week core program where investors and the top selected entrepreneurs learn side by side about the ins and outs of impact investing and fundraising.
Orientation and the core program comprise weekly 2-hour sessions. These take participants through a series of workshops designed to help entrepreneurs approach investors effectively and learn how to position their purpose-driven companies to take on the right type of capital.
At the end of the program, entrepreneurs selected into the core program by the investor cohort will have the opportunity to negotiate directly with participating investors for a chance to win up to $100,000 in investments.
The Challenge is an incredible opportunity for all participating ventures as even those not selected into the core program receive valuable training and feedback on pitching and due diligence, and those in the second round of elimination have a chance to catch the eye of investors in the investor cohort.
You will finish the program with a valuable network of local impact investors, key players in the national startup ecosystem, and emerging mission-driven companies.
Tune in to our recorded info. session to watch a fireside chat with previous Impact Investor Challenge participants about their journeys into impact entrepreneurship and fundraising, and find out more about the program.
