PhotonHub Europe’s initiative provides strategic guidance to increase the chances of success. With only 1 in 400 pitches receiving investor backing, navigating this terrain requires strategic guidance.
The Investment Readiness Programme continues its mission to equip early-stage deep-tech innovators with the necessary tools to succeed. We recognize that investors’ attention is a precious commodity, with only three slides capturing interest during presentations. Therefore, our programme is tailored to position companies among the coveted 1% that secure funding.
The programme is administered by experts who are proficient in photonics, deep tech investments, and business development. It offers a comprehensive roadmap to success for entrepreneurs. Participants gain access to invaluable insights, networking opportunities, and essential knowledge for securing external financial support.
Investor Days
A key component of the programme is Investor Days, during which participants connect with potential investors, pitch ideas, and forge meaningful connections. Attendees will learn about equity and cascade funding, approaching venture capitalists, and navigating funding hurdles. Additionally, the programme provides referrals to prospective investors, granting participants direct access to lucrative funding prospects.
By seizing this opportunity, entrepreneurs can propel their businesses to new heights, supported by secure funding to fuel growth and innovation. The PhotonHub Europe Investment Readiness Programme presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking to succeed in the highly competitive field of deep-tech innovation!
The programme accepts applications with a cut-off date every few months. Founders and entrepreneurs interested in participating are encouraged to apply early, as spaces are limited.
14th Cut-off Date: 17 January 2025, 17:00 CET.
