SUMMARY:Female Founders - The Challenges of a Growing Tech Business
DESCRIPTION:SUG Roundtable Series\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin this interactive roundtable session focusing on the specific opportunities and challenges female tech entrepreneurs face when scaling a business\, including securing their first substantial institutional funding.  \n\n\n\nWhilst the number of emerging technology businesses led by female founders is increasing\, they still receive significantly less VC funding – for reasons including gender bias in investment decisions\, less access to mentorship\, and fewer female role models. \n\n\n\nScaleUp Group’s well-established CEO Forum is a platform exclusively for tech entrepreneurs to discuss common challenges and reveal invaluable insights.  \n\n\n\nWith this upcoming session\, we are extending this approach to focus on Female Founders\, with the benefit of contributions from some of our female Partners and Clients. \n\n\n\nIn order to facilitate an open interactive discussion\, numbers are limited to 20. Please register your expression of interest in the link below. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGUEST EXPERTS AND ENTREPRENEURS \n\n\n\n\n\nClare ElfordCEOClue \n\n\n\n\n\nHema GandhiCEOLatentBridge \n\n\n\n\n\nCharlotte FairhurstDirectorEvelyn Partners \n\n\n\n\n\nMarsha ParkerFounder\, Chairman & Chief Product Strategisteflow Global \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTola SargeantManaging DirectorTechMarketView \n\n\n\n\n\nTania WilsonResearch DirectorTechMarketView \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nCO-CHAIRED BY \n\n\n\n\n\nLisa PowisPartnerScaleUp Group \n\n\n\n\n\nJohn O’ConnellExecutive ChairmanScaleUp Group \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUEEvelyn Partners45 Gresham StreetLondon\, EC2V 7BGUnited Kingdom

SUMMARY:ChairX: London - 'Scaling Up a Technology business' with John O'Connell
DESCRIPTION:ChairX: London-Round Table “Scaling Up a Technology business” Feb 9th @11am + lunch at Evelyn Partners \n\n\n\n\n\nChairX: London- “Scaling Up a Technology business” Feb 9th @11am + Exited Technology Founder/CEO\, John O’Connell\, Chair Scale Up Group\, followed by light lunch with host Members Evelyn- In Person Round Table Event \n\n\n\nFebruary 9th 2023\, London\, 11am-2pm includes light lunch \n\n\n\nOnly 20 places- no charge. \n\n\n\nEach meeting commences with a short introduction about your business interests to the group followed by a Member question or general discussion around a current theme. \n\n\n\nScaling up a tech business is simply employing the right people to execute a growth strategy approved by all relevant stakeholders\, correct?  \n\n\n\nSo what can possibly go wrong I hear you say!  \n\n\n\nAmericans claim they had a vision and they just implemented it. Brits would rather talk about their war stories than their successes.  \n\n\n\nSomewhere between these generalizations lies the truth.  \n\n\n\nThis in – person interactive 20 person max  session aims to give at least one valuable insight to take away to help them on their journey to become a tech success story.  \n\n\n\nIt will be most relevant to entrepreneurs/ directors of businesses which  are already in a growth phase \, with revenues of at least £1m p.a. – probably not startups.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn O’Connell is a high profile London based technology entrepreneur and investor. He co-founded\, floated on the UK LSE and sold for $200 million approx. one of the then leading Software companies in the UK\, Staffware plc\, which had achieved Unicorn status\, before that term had been adopted. \n\n\n\nSince then\, he has personally invested in and chaired 16 technology businesses\, AIM Listed \, VC/PE backed and startups. Other exits include last year CloudTrade & AIM listed ActiveOps plus previously Portrait Software \, Imperial College spin -out InforSense & Opta Sports Data . \n\n\n\n\n\nJohn now chairs 2 UK based technology companies\, Active Navigation & the Scale Up Group\, which he founded. \n\n\n\nScaleUp Group’s (SUG) 33 entrepreneurs have helped raise finance for more than 100 companies globally\, exiting from 80+ for more than £4 billion. SUG is focused on creating Global Champions in the technology sector.  \n\n\n\nChairX: Discussing the Business of BoardsWe connect Boards and Directors Internationally to learn\, discuss and do more business.www.ChairX.network

SUMMARY:Series A - Are You Leaving £Millions on the Table?
DESCRIPTION:Our recent survey reveals that the vast majority of tech. companies raising Series A funding of between £2m and £5m ‘do it themselves’ i.e. do not use a specialised adviser. \n\n\n\nThis is despite the fact that Funds are being as picky as ever at this level – according to Silverpeak the number of such deals has not changed from 2020 to 2021 (even though there has been a doubling of deals above £5m) – meaning the abysmal\, less than 1% success\, rates of entrepreneurs trying to raise cash at this level is not improving. \n\n\n\nScrambling to obtain funding\, it is understandable that entrepreneurs slide into a pitfall – which is they become receptive to taking the first offer that comes along – assuming they get an offer at all. \n\n\n\nJoin our next webinar where our expert panel will discuss how you can get maximum funding and on better terms by working with an adviser\, and how to prepare for your Series A fundraising round. \n\n\n\nMeet the Panel \n\n\n\nClare Elford | CEO\, Clue Computing – How did Clue maximise its Series A fundraising success by working with an Adviser? \n\n\n\nJohn O’Connell | Executive Chairman\, ScaleUp Group – Explaining how not to leave £millions on the table \n\n\n\nShaun Scoon | Associate Director – Investments\, ScaleUp Group – Getting the best offer by making your Forecasts credible  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the webinar on-demand and access the slides here: \n\n\n\n\n[hubspot type=form portal=8855044 id=23c96224-79b3-41a0-9d6f-04ec85f3379a]
