GrantTree Workshops

Although GrantTree's main business activity is not training, we do love to meet people and help them. The startup world is all about sharing the knowledge, rather than hoarding it, so we're happy to share the wealth of information, know-how and experience that we've acquired by working on GrantTree.

The links below showcase some of our presentations, though they are mostly about topics not related to funding. If you'd like one of us to speak, either about government funding or more generic startup topics, please get in touch and let's talk.

We've spoken and/or given workshops and training at:

• Oxford University (Saïd Business School) - "Jumping off a plane: the crazy risks of being an entrepreneur"
