And of course, all of this is leading up to our next School for Startups event. For the first time we are having a full 8 hour bootcamp on raising investment. I shall cover every scam in the book, every means by which people will try to lead you astray and also focus on success and what it takes to raise money. If you are interested it is on Nov 18th at the Royal Institution in London. You can sign up here.
