Overview


The ESA Investment Readiness Programme (IRP) Noordwijk on 8 & 9 May 2014, aims to help early-stage entrepreneurs increase their likelihood of acquiring seed-level or venture capital funding. The IRP is split into an ice-breaking evening and a one-day intensive workshop where the programme leader, Rick Salmon will work together with the participating entrepreneurs to fine-tune their business models and sharpen their business propositions. Through this workshop, entrepreneurs will learn about the necessary tools to obtain funding and grow, and also the skills to communicate their value to investors effectively.
