About
The Executive Trainings – a strong programme for strong founders
The Executive Trainings support selected entrepreneurs throughout their start-up's growth journey. The programme provides them with tailored advice on how to raise capital, scale the business and become capital market ready.
Growing start-ups face a whole lot of challenges and constantly need to
- evaluate and pursue new strategic opportunities,
- optimise processes and structures to keep pace with their growth and
- find and convince the right investors at the right time.
Especially from Series A up to Series D and onwards, these challenges tend to be increasingly urgent, complex and multifaceted. The Executive Trainings empower founders to face these challenges with solutions at hand, that are time-critical, evidence-based and individually tailored.
If you want to prepare your start-up for the growth challenges that lie ahead, get in touch and learn more about how this programme supports you.
