This event series focused on the role of finance in the entrepreneurial journey with the aim of improving our understanding of the role of early-stage financiers in the start-up and scale-up of new ventures.
Discussions touched on research topics such as the types of constraints that limit the start and growth of new companies, and the role of specialised financiers, as well as policy, in mitigating them.
The events are open to the public and free to attend - and video recordings, where available, can be viewed below.
