Rob Symington and Paul Grant shared war stories around business funding
The great team at Escape the City kindly invited me to speak at the first event of their summer series last night (more announced shortly).
In the packed Rehearsal Room at Adam Street Club, Rob Symington (co-founder of Escape the City) and I spoke to a group of more than 80 people about ‘How to fund a start-up‘.
There was a great atmosphere and lots of good questions and lively discussion. The Esc team has written up an excellent summary of the event which covers everything from Angel Investing and Bootstrapping to Crowdfunding and VC Pitching, supported by plenty of personal stories and insights to learn from. If you're an entrepreneur looking for funding you'll find some invaluable advice here: Insights and Advice about Funding Start-Ups.
Thanks to Rob, Dom, Adele and the Esc team for inviting me to speak - I really enjoyed the event - and thanks to all who came along. Thanks also to Beverley Hamilton of one step further who has shared some of the things she learned at the event (below).

More on Esc: Escape the City (Esc) is a global community of 70,000+ talented professionals who want to ‘do something different’. The idea for Esc was born in London by Dom Jackman and Rob Symington who were working as management consultants in the heart of the corporate world - ‘the City'. They wanted to move on from their jobs but were struck by how hard it was to make that leap. Esc is their solution and they are now on an unstoppable mission to help talented people escape from unfulfilling corporate jobs.
