Series A Unlocked

93% of Seed-funded startups never raise VC funding. This session is built for the 7% who will.
VenturePath and Lewis Silkin invite you to an exclusive afternoon session for Seed-funded founders serious about pursuing a VC raise.
Most venture-potential businesses don't lose a Series A because their business isn't any good, they lose it in the preparation.
This session is structured around three roundtables to close that gap, leaving you with a clear picture of where you stand and what needs to happen to get you "VC-ready".
This event is for UK tech founders who have raised Seed funding, are generating £500k-£1m in annual revenue and are planning to prepare for a VC raise in the next 12-months.
What to Expect
→ 2026 Series A benchmarks, capital runway, and why raising from a position of strength matters more than ever.

→ What's now a "market-standard" deal and what to expect from an incoming VC.
Agenda
