Investment readiness
In collaboration with Renew Capital, we are organising a new training webinar to help companies, part of the Zero Hunger Pledge, scale up.
This session, led by Lucas Robinson, Principal at Renew Capital, will guide you through the fundamentals of becoming ready for international trade and investment.
This 90-minute primer equips African founders with the mindset, tools and strategies to secure private investment and scale into new markets. The session demystifies the fundraising journey—from understanding capital types and investor expectations to crafting a compelling pitch and navigating market expansion when appropriate.
Whether you're preparing for your first raise or planning regional growth, this session will sharpen your strategy, strengthen your story, and set you up for success.
