Kleos Africa Webinar - Securing Equity FinancingGlory Enyinnaya
Capital is to a business as blood is to a human being. It’s not the fundamental reason for its existence but it’s essential for survival.
To grow in 2020, you need to chart a roadmap for growth and, more often than not, investors will help you get to the next level.
However, statistics show that only 1 in 1000 businesses succeeds in securing investment capital. If you’ve been struggling for capital, and don’t know where to start, this webinar is for you.
In this webinar, Kleos Africa’s Lead Consultant and Beta Gamma Sigma’s Board member, Glory Enyinnaya, will take you through the steps of raising capital from equity investors.
Glory brings to bear her considerable technical expertise as an Accenture-trained management consultant and First Class accountant. She will also draw upon her experience as a technology entrepreneur and the Regional representative of Faster Capital, a venture capital fund in the United Arab Emirates that invests in entrepreneurial projects around the world.
2020 has just begun – will it be the year your business gets funded?

MIT TR35 Argentina y Uruguay 2013 presentacion de Vanesa Kolodziej Partner y Co Fundadora de Nazca Ventures los desafios de los emprendedores de Argentina.
Cubre situación del contesto de la Argentina, características de los emprendedores argentinas y de los fondos de capital emprendedor o venture capital de la Argentina. Finalmente da recomendaciones para los emprendedores.
Una guía completa de mi experiencia usando el networking como una herramienta para emprendedores. Toda interacción humana es networking. Existen algunas reglas y muchos consejos. En esta presentación trato de ir desde lo más fisiológico (porque tenemos miedo al networking) a lo filosófico (La base del networking es la reciprocidad y el respeto) pasando por metodología y muchas recomendaciones prácticas. Tambien cubro las bases del elevator pitch y de como pedir presentaciones / intros. Para mas datos sobre elevators mirar las presentaciones que armé específicamente en el tema. Agradezco a Arturo Canez, Alvaro Zárate y Demis Estabridis por su invitación a Lima Valley, a todos los voluntarios, a Martin Vivas por haber realizado el contacto y a Guido Durazzo por el diseño de la presentación.
