1. Entrepreneur Bootcamp: How to Raise Growth Capital

Entrepreneurs of young technology ventures often EVENTUALLY find it impossible to realise the full potential of their business without external resources, both financial capital and knowledge capital. Due to the risky nature of their business, venture capital is practically the only source available. However, due to the increased complexity of high growth venturing, venture capitalists have tougher time making investment decisions and appear to demand more than is being offered, in terms of investment-readiness. There is clear mismatch between the expectations of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The Entrepreneur Bootcamp will provide entrepreneurs with insights and tools on how to package and sell ideas in order to raise growth capital. The interest, herein, is to widen and strengthen the pool of growth entrepreneurs in the Finnish Federation of Enterprises.

Workshop Hosts:

	Peter Kelly, Sr. Researcher, Helsinki University of Technology
	Janne Makkula, Legal Advisor, The Federation of Finnish Enterprises
	Risto Perttunen, Independent investor and board member
	Mikko Puhakka, Member of the Board, Holtron Ventures Oy
