A practical crash course in fundraising and investor readiness
Think you're ready to raise capital? Your investors may disagree.
A great business is not enough. Before approaching investors, founders need to speak their language — and be able to defend their numbers, valuation, growth assumptions and funding ask.
Join X-Nom, the newest M&A division of Monx, for a fast-paced crash course on what needs to be in place before you start raising. X-Nom supports companies from capital raising through deal execution, including financial modelling, valuations and investor materials.
What we'll cover:
- Build a financial model investors can actually challenge
- Understand valuation and learn how to defend yours
- Perfect your pitch, funding ask and investor narrative
- Spot the red flags that can kill a raise before it starts
- Know what needs to be ready before entering the room
Led by Stefano Passarello, Founder of Monx, drawing on his own entrepreneurial exit and years supporting founders and entrepreneurs across Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand in raising capital, scaling businesses and navigating exits.
No theory. No generic startup advice.
Real examples, practical frameworks and an investor-readiness roadmap you can use immediately.
If raising capital is on your roadmap, prepare before the investor meeting — not after it.
Remarks:
- Advanced booking is required.
- Seats are limited. Booking priority to members on a first-come, first-served basis.
