What We'll Cover

Red Flags Vs. Green Flags

What actually makes a team backable and what quietly kills investor confidence before a meeting ends.

Live Audience Q&A

Bring your questions. This is a conversation, not a lecture.

What Investors Assess Vs. What They Claim To Assess

The gap between the official criteria and the real gut checks happening across the table.

Doing More With Less

How the best teams maximise output with minimal headcount, and where AI and tooling are reshaping how founding teams are built.

Stage Expectations

What's expected of a team at pre-seed looks nothing like Series A. How the bar shifts and how to stay ahead of it.

The Always-Fundable Team

What does a team look like that could raise in any climate? What are they doing differently, and can it be built deliberately?

Kelsey Mays Alvarez

Talent & Ecosystem Lead | Cambridge Future Tech

Kelsey Mays Alvarez is the Talent & Ecosystem Lead at Cambridge Future Tech, a venture building studio that finds uncommercialised deep-tech IP in UK research labs and builds it into fundable companies from the ground up. Her role sits at the heart of the build process - responsible for identifying the commercial and technical co-founders who support technologists in turning promising science into investable ventures. The right leadership composition, brought in at the right time, is often what gives investors the confidence to back a company at the earliest stages. That belief is why Kelsey was brought in as CFT's first talent hire.
