Est-il plus facile de créer sa start-up à Londres qu’à Paris? Vaut-il mieux réaliser son premier tour de table auprès de proches ou d’investisseurs plus classiques? Comment se développer? Comment financer sa croissance?

Voici quelques unes des questions auxquelles un panel d’intervenant tâchera de répondre le 14 janvier prochain (à partir de 19h30) à Londres. Si vous êtes sur Londres ou ses environs la semaine du 13 janvier, réservez donc votre soirée du 14 janvier pour cette conférence durant laquelle j’aurai l’honneur d’intervenir, et dédiée à l’écosystème financier et économique autour de la création d’entreprises, l’innovation et le digital. Une conférence organisée par les réseaux d’anciens X-UK, Centrale-UK et HEC au féminin-UK.

Réservation préalable obligatoire (PAF: 35£)
