There's a free event coming up this evening for which, IP Finance understands, there are still some spare tickets -- if you're a tech enterpreneur or service provider. This may be of some interest to readers, either because they need the services which are show-cased here or because they already provide them and are curious to learn how others do so. Details are as follows:

Making your tech start-up "investor-ready"

Event Details

Amoo Venture Capital Advisory presents “Amoo Booster Series”. As part of our commitment to nurturing the tech ecosystem we have set up Amoo Booster Series which is a monthly event with notable speakers from the industry, that are as passionate about startups as we are.

The aim is to deliver practical advice startups can implement right away. This is done in a friendly space with the opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and investors; we have created a community for like-minded people to communicate, share ideas and explore ways to support each other.

Hear from a venture capitalist, an angel, an entrepreneur, a patent attorney, a lawyer and an accountant. They will run through how you can make your start-up investment-ready.
