Need capital to grow?

Heading into its sixth year (2012), the Challenge aims to help New Zealand companies get investment ready, through workshops, business planning, mentoring and pitch preparation. The multi-step process provides unique opportunities to engage with experts, learn new skills and review and re-focus your business.

The Challenge will get underway in May 2012. To register your interest, contact sarah.gorringe@ffxbusinessgroup.co.nz

What's in it for me?

Whatever stage your business is at you’ll gain real value through free interactive workshops, reviewing and refocusing your business, engaging with investment experts and getting pitch ready.

Finalists have the opportunity to:

- Pitch to well known and established investors
- Gain a business mentor from the Virtual Advisory Board for 12 months (conditions apply).

"The Challenge is a fantastic experience that highlights that the journey is more valuable than the destination. The process of getting pitch ready and the support given to us was invaluable."
