<p>A pitch where your investors very willingly cut the red tape and roll out the red carpet for you is a pitch that gets you what you need. Telling the story of your business and its purpose is an art but not something that you can’t learn and master. Successfully getting your investor to be interested in you, your team and your journey is what a red-hot pitch is all about.</p> <p>Join <a href="https://youtu.be/IncXiiYV2Ys" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Milisa Mabinza</a>, the UKSA Tech Hub Director, on this exciting part of the journey of getting funded. Milisa brings her red hot and relevant knowledge into this episode and will leave you inspired to get going with your pitches.

<p>It can feel counterintuitive to think about the investor exit whilst you build your investable business. Once you get over this, you’ll realise that it only makes sense to have the investor exit strategy top of mind as you articulate your pitch. An investor wants to know that they will be able to make a return on their investment and so being able to show the assumptions you have made, including some calculations and realistic plans will serve you well.</p> <p>Meet <a href="https://youtu.be/V61eNFYVEzc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Sihle Gumede</a>, who is a Principal at Sanari Capital. Sihle packs a punch as she clarifies what is meant when investors talk about an exit strategy. This part of the raise process can quickly become overwhelming because of the dizzying array of acronyms - ROI, IRR.. - so let Sihle set you straight on this episode of Let’s Get Funded.</p> <p><strong>About Let’s Get Funded</strong></p> <p>Branson Centre has partnered with the UK SA Tech Hub, an initiative of the UK Government, to create our on-demand series ‘Let’s Get Funded’, for founders looking to get funded.

<p>It is easy to assume that scaling a business simply refers to getting more revenue. What investors are truly looking for is for a business that shows the ability to yes, grow its revenue, by gaining more customers and moving into new markets. That being said, it is equally important to understand that a business that is scaling is a business that is looking to be at the optimal size relative to its product, its competitors and unique selling points.</p> <p>Join El-Shebah as she discusses the ins and outs of thinking about scale when building your business. <a href="https://youtu.be/LdFmriZW3dg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">El-Shebah</a> is the New Business Development & Partnerships Executive at TymeBank. This episode delivers on insights and practical suggestions on how to think about how you scale your business and lose the focus you have on building a purpose-led business.</p> <p><strong>About Let’s Get Funded</strong></p> <p>Branson Centre has partnered with the UK SA Tech Hub, an initiative of the UK Government, to create our on-demand series ‘Let’s Get Funded’, for founders looking to get funded.
