Connect Yorkshire’s Investment Readiness Bootcamps provide a complete and balanced view of the key areas that the executives of a growth business need to understand.  The programme takes place over two days (non residential) and consists of a series of workshops, delivered by top professionals, designed to help turn propositions, into attractive investment opportunities.

Investors recognise that the breadth and depth of a management team’s skills directly relate to the probability of the business succeeding.  So it is vital for managers to understand what investors expect, and to develop or acquire the skills needed to make the business attractive.

The aim is that the business proposition will have been substantially improved as a result of attending the Investment Readiness Bootcamp and will help prepare individuals in the process of seeking funding. 
 

Client Feedback:

The feedback from the first Bootcamp in Sheffield in July was that 90% said they would recommend the bootcamp to Associates and 100% said they would attend another Connect Yorkshire event.
 
Charley Downey the MD of OHM Creative Engineering Ld comments:
''The boot camp was superb. It is difficult to think of a way that the topics covered could have been more relevant to my current situation, and it was very well delivered.''
