Your funding journey starts here

“ Raising finance is one of the biggest barriers entrepreneurs face. That’s why we’ve partnered with Swoop to make funding more accessible, transparent and achievable for every ambitious business.

With the Festival of Entrepreneurs, you’ll not only learn how to get investment ready – from debt and equity to grants and alternative finance – but you’ll also be able to explore real options through the Swoop portal today, connecting into over 120 lenders and investors to find you the best deal.

My ambition is to see founders secure the capital they need to grow, and to bring some of those success stories back as future speakers to inspire the next wave. “
