CTRL+N: Preparing for Investment in 2023

Whether you’re an early-stage founder or a fast-scaling one, it might seem like the era of easy money is over. But why wait to see how the rubber hits the road when you can start building your investment strategy for 2023 instead?

Get in gear and join us as we chat with James Tynan from SquarePeg – a global investment firm that’s on a mission to empower exceptional founders. Since its inception in 2012, SquarePeg has invested in over 50 companies including Fiverr, Canva, Rokt, Tomorrow and Airwallex.

As Principal at SquarePeg, James brings years of experience in the industry, having helped scale Khan Academy from a YouTube channel to the world’s biggest ed-tech before taking over Startmate. Today, he invests widely in climate, education, health, D2C, and the future of software.

He’ll be in conversation with Josh Sharma, Head of Labs at LUNA. Leveraging his experience as a startup lawyer, Josh brings years of expertise supporting early-stage startups from idea to investment, and to building programs to help founders succeed.

This session will cover:

• The current investment landscape and its implications for early-stage startups;
• What to look out for in 2023; and
• How you can improve your chances of raising investment successfully this year.
