About this event
Businesses across verticals have a wide range of financing options, from equity financing to venture debt, bank loans, and more. With all those options, how do you craft a capital stack that truly works for you?
In this workshop, Lukas Wagner (CFO of Pipe) and Farhan Lalji (Managing Director at Anthemis) will share lessons learned from leading finance at two unicorn companies and raising capital from seed to growth stage.
They’ll explore the rise of alternative financing and how it can be used alongside things like venture capital to help businesses accelerate growth.
They’ll also discuss how the right capital stack can help operators optimize their time, so they can go back to focusing on what’s important, scaling their business, rather than spending all their time fundraising.
