With Easter and the lovely long bank holiday weekend well and truly behind us, the next few weeks are crammed with great dinners for you all to enjoy. So, without any further ado, here’s what’s happening next week:
Dine with Early Stage Tech Investor at Dawn Capital
Join Ari Helgason for dinner where he will be talking about what he looks for in the companies he invests in. As an Early Stage Tech Investor at Dawn Capital, Ari is also a former entrepreneur with operational experience in London and New York.

Dine with Tim Jackson, partner at Lean Investments
This dinner is perfect for those at the crossroads of looking for investment but not sure which road to go down. Should you raise money from VCs, angels or crowdfunding?
