SUMMARY:Ready to Raise? Investment Readiness Clinic in Tampere
DESCRIPTION:​A practical\, recurring coaching program for startups and SMEs preparing for external financing. Starting in Tampere 29 September\, 15:00–17:00. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Investment Readiness Clinic helps founders and leadership teams assess and strengthen their investment readiness ahead of a fundraising process.
