Raising equity for your organisation: The CFO’s Playbook

The difference between a successful raise and a stalled one often comes down to timing, strategy, and investor fit.

Join us for our next Cledara Connects, where we go behind the scenes of fundraising with two industry insiders who’ve seen it all, from the investor seat to the founder’s side of the table.

Corinne Thompson, CEO and founder of Ecap, works with investors and founders across Europe on fundraising and M&A. Through Ecap, she leads financial due diligence for more than 15 investors and supports companies as a fractional CFO. She’s joined by Yann Ranchère, who brings 14 years at Anthemis, one of Europe’s leading fintech VCs, and now the perspective of a founder himself. Together, they will share real, experience driven insights on what it takes to raise capital successfully in today’s evolving market.

From understanding when it’s the right time to raise, to choosing the right investors, and keeping their conviction through the process, this conversation will give you practical, real-world insights to help you prepare, pitch, and perform when it matters most.
