Start-up Funding

Unlock the secrets to fueling your entrepreneurial dreams as Roy Saunders teams up with start-up savant Lucie Burniston to dissect the vital elements of start-up funding. From the seedlings of angel investments to the towering oaks of venture capital and private equity, our conversation lays bare the essential steps for founders to secure their business's financial future. Lucie imparts her wisdom on moving from personal networks and accelerator programs to wooing institutional investors, emphasizing the crucial role of formal documentation to protect all parties involved.

Venture into the strategic decision-making that faces founders, as we scrutinise the choice between venture capital and private equity with Lucie’s expert lens. We dissect the implications of drag-along and tag-along rights, delve into the preferences of investors, and confront the challenges that surface during funding rounds.
