Raising Money: The Founders' Stories

Innovative ideas are great, but funding is the fuel for growth. This event takes us back to origins of InsTech London, giving a voice to early stage companies. Hear from the founders of four companies in different stages of growth, with technology and access to underwriting capacity.

We ask them about their experience and what advice they have on raising funds. Matthew and Robin are also joined by Andre Symes of Genasys Technologies, who generously supported the event as a way of helping others start, or continue, their company building journey. 

Hosted by InsTech London Partners Matthew Grant and Robin Merttens, who are joined by a speaker panel featuring:

• Andre Symes, Chief Growth Officer, Genasys Technologies
• Sam White, CEO, Stella Insurance
• Goncalo de Vasconcelos, Founder and CEO, Rnwl
• Pranjal Arya, Commercial Director, Hometree
• Jonathan Spry, Co-founder and CEO, Envelop Risk
