What is Investor Readiness?

Many companies believe they are ready for investors. Fewer actually are.

The Investor Readiness Programme is an 8-week course for SMEs that are seeking capital – and that are willing to find out where they really stand. Through four workshops, a dedicated mentor, and structured data room work, you move from “we have a pitch” to meeting investors with real substance behind your story.

Sessions autumn 2026

10. september: The get real show
Where does your company really stand? We map the gap between story and substance – and set the course for the next eight weeks.

30. september: Navigating investor waters
Who invests in companies like yours, and what are they looking for? We review investor types, what kills interest early, and how to think about timing.

15. October: Populating the dataroom
You work your way through the cap table, financial model and go-to-market strategy – and receive feedback from your mentor and the group along the way.

29. October: Your fundraising timeline
Fundraising is a funnel, not a meeting. We create a concrete plan for whom you should contact, when, and how.

What do you get?

Guidance to set up a structured data room
A clear capital strategy
A concrete plan and pipeline for raising capital

A prioritised and relevant investor list
The opportunity to present at Nordic Edge Fund Day
Continued access to the Nordic Edge financial network
