ABOUT THE EVENT SERIES
Since June 2020, Jamal Maxey and Richa Cibbar have run
6+ pitch events exclusively hosting female founders to pitch.
Our events match female founders to industry-specific advisors and investors, and provide real-time feedback in addition to our team promoting startups to our relevant investor networks.
We have hosted 18 female founders at our exclusive events and a further 87 women entrepreneurs from pre-seed to Series A at events on sector verticals open to both male and female founders.

Supporting Female Founder Backed Startups on their Fundraising Journey

FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS
Our team and partners are experienced in fundraising for startups and other organizations - investments, grants, and business loans.
The key to fundraising success is a clear fundraising campaign. When marketing and fundraising work in sync your campaign efforts are more effective. While we have a 30k+ investor database to promote our pitch events and fundraising campaign clients, we work with you to determine which of these investors you want to target and whether you match their investment criteria. We are constantly curating and adding new investors to our pool of investors.
We will review your current investment deck where necessary and in response to new insights and validating your data points. This will provide you with a stronger deck outlining your ‘positioning’ in the fundraising market.
Following that, we will map out the communications needed to drive enquiries and investor leads. We would also internally hold weekly fundraising meetings to track our progress and results, and check the fundraising campaign content and discuss other marketing requirements.
Our fundraising campaigns run for a minimum of 8 weeks.
We prefer to work with our pitching startups - although not exclusively the case -
because our pitch application process, event preparation, and investor panelist and audience responses form part of due diligence.
