EVENTS

As part of the Scale-up Programme, we will be hosting an Investor Breakfast Briefing on 12th June in London.

The Investor Breakfast Briefings are a great opportunity to meet the latest cohort of scale-up companies being supported by SETsquared that are looking to raise investment. We will give updates on the programme and want to get your thoughts on what type of companies you are looking for and how we can bring you good deal flow.
