Product vs Promise

Has the way we fund innovation really changed? From early banking and industrial revolutions to today’s influencer‑driven valuations, investment has long balanced between backing what exists and betting on what might.

This event explores that tension through historical perspective, real‑world experience, and venture capital insight. Through expert talks and panel discussion, we’ll examine how funding decisions are made today, what investors are really looking for, and where founders and innovators sit in the current landscape, particularly across deep tech and AI.

Who should attend:
Entrepreneurs, inventors, investors, and business leaders navigating funding, investment decisions, or early‑stage technology growth.

This event is kindly hosted by The Glasshouse, @InnovateCambridge.
