Looking for funding? Learn how to match your funding strategy to your goals -

scale without losing direction.

This first workshop in our six-part Funding Accelerator series is designed to help you align your growth goals with the right funding strategy. Because chasing the wrong money can cost more than just equity, it can cost you your vision.

We will also be joined by Louise Doyle Co-founder & CEO @ needi.

Our Personal Gift Matching Service helps you find thoughtful, meaningful gifts for loved ones, employees, and clients. Simply share a few details about the recipient, and we'll match you with unique gift ideas, online or through our expert Gift Matchers.

Every gift is sustainably sourced from the UK's best independent businesses, from bespoke hampers to practical experiences and services. By helping people give gifts that truly matter, we're also reducing unwanted gifts that end up in landfill.
