Finance training for commercial leaders
Business case: A prominent financial institution sought to accelerate growth by driving revenue from a portfolio of B2B clients, adopting a thought leadership strategy. To achieve this, a commercial team of fifty professionals underwent a series of four meticulously designed training sessions aimed at bolstering their financial acumen and enhancing their capability to drive meaningful conversations around value.
Solution: At Funder Advisor, we developed and delivered comprehensive training material that encompassed cash management, insights into capital structure and financing, as well as a deep dive into the spectrum of financing products available to medium and large enterprises in several key sectors (industrials, IT, consumer staples and healthcare). Moreover, we went beyond the creation and presentation of content; we facilitated dedicated office hour sessions with individual teams to ensure that the learning was tailored to and integrated with the unique sales strategies of each team member.
Workshop for startups
Business Case: Ambitious early-stage founders operating within the horticultural and plant-based food and drink sectors were seeking to revolutionize their ideas into marketable products but faced significant hurdles. These challenges included assessing their innovative concepts, identifying technical and business gaps, and clearly defining the pathways to market entry. The University of Greenwich's Medway Food Innovation Centre was poised to bridge this gap, offering an accelerator program that promised not only conceptual support but also tangible, technical assistance with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.
Solution: Funder Advisor stepped in to enhance the Medway Food Innovation Centre's offerings by delivering a masterclass workshop on creating effective funding strategies tailored to the unique milestones of early-stage founders. Complementing the workshop, Funder Advisor conducted intensive one-to-one sessions, carefully evaluating each founder's readiness to secure grant funding, debt, and equity financing options.
