Company Assessment Group Meetings

In the run up to our June Investment Forum we are holding a number of 'CAGs' to help the presenting companys hone down and refine their investment pitches. This is an invaluable opportunity for presenter's to get feedback, share good practice and eliminate glitches. Often it is not until entrepreneurs have made their pitch to investors and been turned down that they appreciate what they could improve on - and then it's just too little, too late. The CAGs are made up of the mentors that are assigned to each company that are drawn from our sponsors. The companies get high-quality feedback from people in the know. So when they present at the Forum, they have the best possible chance of winning over investors and raising the finance they need to make their dreams a reality. This mentoring and support is a key part of the Connect model.
