Some testimonials from companies that participated in IPOready
The opportunity to work closely with an experienced mentor to perfect our corporate presentation and pitch to investors was timely and very useful. We obtained invaluable advice in terms of preparing our finance function and systems ahead of a transaction and built a strong network of like-minded business leaders and expert advisors.
IPOready helped accelerate our growth plans. We learned valuable lessons from top class advisors and our fellow programme participants. Our approach to strategic finance and overall company ambition have benefited directly.
IPOready was a great experience – the networking, mentoring and quality and choice of speakers gave huge insights to the world of strategic financing options in order to scale your business. A very insightful and thoroughly enjoyable course which I would highly recommend.
IPOready was a fantastic journey for both our CFO (David) and I. We collaborated with the best scaling companies in Ireland and were introduced to some of the international capital markets ecosystem. The mentors and speakers were excellent, which led to great open conversations with some great insights and guidance. Overall it was extremely worthwhile programme that I would encourage other scaling Irish companies to explore.
IPOready was a pivotal programme of thought provoking events. We had a chance to interact with an impressive class of entrepreneurs, financing and public market experts. The impressive Euronext team collated these experts into a community that clearly want Irish companies to succeed. It is a must attend for any fast growing company. It goes well beyond IPO preparation, bringing us unique insights into building a high impact, long term focused, and profitable company in Ireland.
Participating on IPOready gave us the opportunity to think about our company, why we exist and why we can be more relevant in the future. The course and the experience gave us a chance to play in the big leagues and create a valuable network. It has increased our ambition and ability to scale our business. It was the most worthwhile thing I did in years.
It was time incredibly well spent. You get to meet businesses outside your sector, you make new friends. It was incredibly impactful and practical in that it gives you a physicality to how you look to raise funds and you then have the opportunity to discuss the options and follow through. For us it was brilliant at the time and it continues to have an impact on our business.
IPOready was instrumental to Netwatch in our fund raising efforts. It gave us a deep insight into the funding ecosystem and fund raising process. The modules focusing on pitching to investors helped us to craft an investor pitch with the correct value proposition for our strategic partners. I would recommend IPOready to every company looking to raise strategic finance.
