SUMMARY:Your Financial Model - one of the most important drivers of growth (Part 1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:A financial model is the engine that powers all the decisions in your business \nAbout this Event \nPart 1 of a 2-part series\, where Jim Gabriel\, Entrepreneur in Residence at Bucks Health Tech & Digital Hubs\, shares a secret of his success.\na financial model is one of the most important drivers of growth. It’s the engine that powers decisions on: \n• Starting a business\n• Raising funds\n• Valuing your business\n• Understanding your business\n• Making informed decisions\n• Business planning\n• Bank financing \nJim will show you how to construct and develop your very own financial model and will be giving away copies of his very own model. \nYour financial model should be a complete and accurate representation of the financial overheads and revenues behind your business plan. The financial model is a living document. At the beginning\, it’s ‘forward-looking’ because it’s all about forecasts. If you manage to get off the ground with an actual working business\, or if you’re already up and running\, you should make the financial model a central part of your day-to-day decision making. All of your forecasting on sales and costs are in it\, and if you don’t think you can trust that or there’s not enough detail\, you need to change that until you can trust it and there is enough detail. \nIn Part 2 you will find out how to use the financial model to plan your fund raising and to give investors all the information they need to back your project.

SUMMARY:Access to Justice - EOI for Open Source Legal Tech Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:How do we use technology better to help those that need it most? \nThe Challenge \nBringing the legal industry together with third sector\, technologists and innovators\, to rapidly design ideas on how we can purposefully use open source technology to ensure access to justice for all. We are calling for SMEs in the West of England to be part of an event that will rapidly prototype solutions for improved legal opportunities and legal service outreach. Together we will build a collaborative community that is focussed on solving problems for all. \nWhy Access to Justice? \nThe pandemic is widening the justice gap\, with a sharp increase in the problems that many people face at a time when it is harder to get legal support. It has exacerbated many justice issues for those in vulnerable groups and low-income communities who are hardest hit by job or rental insecurity\, homelessness and eviction\, cybercrime and reduced access to criminal justice systems – now more than ever there are more people needing access to legal advice and help with understanding their rights. \nHow to take part and Key Dates \n\nSign up to the Open Source LegalTech Hackathon.\nYou will need to commit to all three days plus a minimum of 4 hours working as a remote team on your legaltech solution during that week.\nYou will need a computer or laptop with a camera\, internet access\, ability to download meeting apps and file sharing software such as Zoom\, MS Teams\, Github\, Slack etc and somewhere to work where you won’t disturb others.\nEach team will have a mentor who will help organise\, support prototyping and problem solve any issues.\n\nHackathon Days: 19 March\, 24 March and 31 March\, 9:30am – 1.30pm

SUMMARY:Using your Financial Model to Raise Investment (Part 2 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 – Using your Financial Model to Raise Funding \nAbout this Event \nThis webinar builds on Part 1 of this series (10th March)\, where Jim Gabriel\, Entrepreneur in Residence at Bucks Health Tech & Digital Hubs\, looks at how the financial model\, from Part 1\, will be critical in preparing you for investment. \nInvestors want to know why you are raising money – how much\, at what price\, for how long\, and what their exit will look like. The financial model of your business converts your business plan into a realistic set of financial projections that support your decisions on pricing\, licensing\, hiring\, the road to profitability\, and therefore everything you need to justify your need for investment. \nWhen raising investment\, a realistic and flexible financial model is an essential part of your company’s documentation\, enabling you to talk credibly and in depth about all aspects of your business.

SUMMARY:Investment for Health Innovation: Data\, Devices and Diagnostics
DESCRIPTION:Are you raising investment in the health & wellbeing sector?\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has sharpened the focus on health and wellbeing. It triggered several years of digital transformation seemingly overnight\, prompting the creation of a new wave of health and wellbeing technologies and accelerating those that were already in development. \nThis is certainly a trend we’re seeing on the ground through our member cohorts. At our most recent investment showcase\, over half the companies pitching for investment were early-stage health technologies. It’s a trend that is also recognised in a recent report from the Silicon Valley Bank\, which reported that record levels of capital were allocated and deployed to support innovative companies in the healthcare industry in 2020. \nThere are no signs that this trend is losing momentum\, as the race to develop longer-term health tech solutions continues. \nThat’s why we’re brought together an A list panel of specialist investors in this field as well as academics\, to explore investment trends driving the market and look in detail at what investors are looking for health tech investment prospects. We’ll be covering: \n\nis there a ‘formula’ to successfully securing investment for health innovation?\nWhat are the latest investment trends that are driving the market?\nWhat growth metrics are investors looking for in a pitch deck?\nHow does the UK regulatory framework influence investment decision making?\nWhat is the best way to communicate your approach to key market challenges?\nWe’re currently putting together an A list panel of specialist investors in this sector – to be announced shortly – and you’ll get the opportunity to ask them questions directly.\n\nThis event is hosted by SETsquared’s Investment Manager Rosie Bennett and brought to you by SETsquared’s Scale-Up Programme\, which supports growing\, innovative companies to raise public and private funding.
