We’re spreading the word about the EIS and the SEIS to the UK’s start up ecosystem every year with our Ready, Steady, Grow! series – are you joining us in your city?
Ready, Steady, Grow! are free to attend events designed to help each region of the UK with their EIS journey by bringing together local founders, investors, advisers and more.
They feature a carefully constructed agenda featuring opinions from SME industry experts, followed by networking opportunities.
What are the events like?
Ready, Steady, Grow begins with registration when you can begin networking with other guests.
There is then an hour of short panels covering different and relevant areas of interest to the start up ecosystem around the schemes.
The events often include a Meet the Fund Managers panel, an EIS Dos and Don’ts panel and a featured story from a founder who successfully raised funding through the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme , the Enterprise Investment Scheme or both.
There is then networking over refreshments until close.
Who will you meet?
These events are designed for the UK startup ecosystem, so those that attend Ready, Steady, Grow! include…
