  • This workshop pairs knowledge building and group discussion with a Founder Chat, allowing participants to gain real-world funding strategies, centred on:

    • What to consider when building your funding mix

    • Vision, goals, and exit alignment

    • Creating a funding timeline

    • Network building for funding success

    Founders will gain access to our Volition Funding Mix Workbook, designed to help entrepreneurs align their personal and company goals with their ideal funding mix.

  • In these sessions, participants gain valuable, data-driven insights and actionable takeaways to build or refine a compelling pitch that resonates with funders and investors. Depending on the needs of your cohort, this might look like a combination of:

    • Workshop | Pitch Foundations: Stepping Into Your Audience’s Shoes (focusing on mindset and structure)

    • Workshop | Beyond the Deck: Building a Compelling Narrative for You and Your Audience (focusing on narrative building, gap analysis, and trust-building)

    • Live Coaching Masterclass | Founders gain strategies to stand out on the pitch stage, through a combination of live pitch and group coaching.

    Our workshops are designed to ground learning in real-life scenarios that are applicable to founders; they feature case studies, real-world examples, and group discussion. In addition to session content, founders will have access to Volition’s worksheets for pitch structure and narrative building.

    Interested in additional Pitch Content? Perhaps something specific to pitch delivery, deck design, or how to communicate impact within your pitch? Let us know! We have spent the past decade building and delivering pitch education, so chances are, we can build what you need.

  • In these sessions, founders are guided through a conversation on key challenges and lessons learned from building and maintaining Data Rooms. While the workshop focuses on data room action planning, the Q&A session allows founders to dig into their challenges and concerns as they approach due diligence conversations.

  • In addition to group training, we offer 1:1 coaching from Volition’s Business Advisors, to provide founders with tailored, actionable insights as they navigate their fundraising journey. Our Advisors specialise in pitch narrative, investor prep, financials, sales, and marketing.

We pride ourselves on delivering engaging, high-impact sessions that blend knowledge-building with hands-on practice. From crafting a compelling pitch to preparing a professional data room, we help your founders develop the confidence and capabilities they need to engage with any type of funder.
