About
Angel investor, board recruiter and adviser Ralph Grayson, founder partner of Sainty, Hird and Partners will share his knowledge of recruiting highly effective boards of directors and why they can have a significant influence on the success of an organisation.

He will discuss how to maximise valuation and funding, through the optimal alignment of the Founder, Chair, Executive team and Board. This webinar will give us insights into why a board is integral to a business, who startups should be hiring and the best ways to work with the CEO, Chair and founder.

The webinar will also focus on how an executive team and board should evolve throughout the funding journey to exit, common mistakes made by founders and how to take a dynamic approach to hiring, team composition and the conflicting demands of various investor groups – such as what investors can offer beyond money and how best to keep a true alignment of interest between founders, employees and investors.

Join us for this exciting webinar on 2nd Nov 2023 at 12 pm and unlock the potential of valuation and funding.

See you there!
