Over the course of four weeks we will challenge you to research your marketplace, competitors and product development, resulting in your all-important strategy being created. Then we hand it over to you, to lead your business and put the plan into action …
Launch and Scale
If you’ve elected to go with our Tech Builder programme, we’ll do the heavy lifting for you and one of our partners will conceptualise, design, develop, and launch your online application and build your website with your logo and branding and hand it over to you.
You’ll get to your Launch phase in around 4 months with a great deal of ideation and pragmatic advice on how you should execute your next steps.
Ongoing Support
We provide regular check-ins for support and connecting you with experts should you be in need of further advice.
Our quarterly meetups will be beneficial to you to meet fellow Entrepreneurs that you may have talked to via the Raising Giants app.
Patents and Grants
During your regular check-ins with the team, we will help you to assess whether or not you qualify to apply for patent and grant to both protect your business idea and be granted funding for it.
This can be a major boost for your business and whilst the capital can be put to good development or marketing use, the exposure created if successful is a powerful win to have on your record.
Our in-house team will assist in preparing you and your presentation to give you the best chance for success.
Funding Rounds
What are the general lead times for a funding journey? What are the documents that need to be delivered as part of a funding round? These are the biggest and most common questions we are asked by our Entrepreneurs and form the basis of stage three of our support programmes.
Navigating fundraising in the UK is far easier when you have a team of experts on your side to help coach you and prepare your business to give it the best chance of success.
Having done an IPO ourselves, we’re experienced from the core team to our trusted advisors in negotiating every kind of investment on offer. It’s never a quick process, however, if handled correctly, fundraising can be a business-changing moment in your journey as an Entrepreneur.
