During this Founders Breakfast Session, Edward van der Pol, Director of Starterslift, will guide you through the key considerations regarding early-stage financing. When is external funding relevant? Which financing form suits the stage your startup is in? And what is looked at when assessing a funding application?

Drawing on his own experience, Edward shares what founders need to take into account, common mistakes he observes, and how to properly prepare yourself for a funding round. Naturally, during breakfast there will also be time to ask your own questions and exchange experiences with other founders.
