The Future of Embedded Finance
2021-07-06 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
The future lies in embedded finance. From the customer’s point of view, the best financial service is an uncomplicated, perfectly embedded or even invisible one. But what exactly does this mean for young fin-tech companies as well as for traditional banks? How do financial service providers need to rethink in order to seize the opportunities of this change? What kind of alliances, business models, strategies and novel value chains promise added value for the customer and success for the company?

Fund Experts Forum - Build Upon Resilience
2021-07-13 09:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
As is well known, crises and difficult times do not always harbor only threats and uncertainty, but also opportunities – opportunities for change and immediate transformation. One factor for this change is crucial: resilience. Here we are not only talking about the resilience of investment behavior, but also of society and the economy in general. Resilience is also the topic of the “Fund Experts Forum 2021”. How can we successfully defend ourselves against the prevailing external influences and turn them to our benefit in such a way that adapted investment strategies allow the portfolio to shine?
It is of great importance that risks and dangers for the portfolio can be identified early by the right indicators and mastered by mature decisions in such a way that the construction of the portfolio withstands external shocks. In addition to individual investment behavior, the event will also focus on global macro trends and the role of Europe in a post-Covid world. What has changed, and where are opportunities that we just need to recognize in order to benefit from them? Take the opportunity to join us on April 14, 2021, as we address these questions and imperatives, and gain valuable guidance on how resilience can act as a driver of change at a time like this.

Security through technology

Topics:
Startups, established companies, governments and central banks are testing and developing new applications with the blockchain – especially outside of currencies.
As a result of increasing digitization, companies and consumers have become more and more aware of the need to avoid becoming dependent on a central authority. Distributed systems based on the blockchain can be an answer to this.

Can fundraising be a walk in the park?
2022-01-31 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/Paris)
Fundraising can be scary and overwhelming, especially if this is your first time.
Do you find yourself struggling with the following fears?

Not sure when is the right time to start fundraising. Start too late – risk going bankrupt. Start too early – lose time and investors’ credibility.
Do not know where to find investors? Who, where and how? Hard to get a response if you don’t know anyone. Too many investors – how do you know whom to contact?
Do not understand startup finance. SAFE, convertible debt and equity are all commonly used for startup finance. What vehicle do I choose? What will it mean for me? Not understanding the terms can make it impossible to raise future rounds of financing.
Not sure what to have ready for fundraising. Pitch deck, financial model, but what else? If you don’t have your data room ready, investors will not take you seriously. Document requirements are different for different financing vehicles.
Don’t understand what red flags to watch out for. Control & information rights, anti-dilution, liquidation preferences. If you don’t understand what you are agreeing to, you risk losing your company. 4 out of 5 founders lose control of their company.

Our course “Fundraising Strategy and Financing Vehicles for Early-Stage Startups” can help you overcome those obstacles and make you feel confident during the fundraising process and investor negotiations. No prior finance experience is required.
What will you learn:
1) How to create the investors pipeline and which tools to use for investor research and outreach.2) What you need to have ready for fundraising.3) How to choose an accelerator which is the best fit for you and evaluate if you need one at all.4) Three main financing vehicles: equity, SAFE, convertible debt; how they work, and pros and cons of each.5) Control and information rights and other deal breakers to watch out for.
