Out of lockdown: What to look for this year when investing in product

How has the landscape changed after lockdown for product design and manufacturing start-ups? What questions should investors be asking and how can businesses position themselves best to exploit the “uncoiling of the economic spring” which we expect to see in 2021?

This panel discussion will be chaired by John Mathers, Chairman of the British Design Fund. Joining John on the panel will be Damon Bonser CEO of the BDF, Jennifer Bailey founder of Calla Shoes, Nate Macabuag founder of Koalaa, and Vasiliki Carson Partner at Sapphire Capital Partners.

This event will last for 1 hour and the panel will share their insights and experiences of the product start-up scene in the UK. The panel will respond to questions sent in advance from registered participants, as well as answer questions posted live in Zoom chat.

Please submit any questions you wish to put to the panel, by email, to damon@britishdesignfund.co.uk no later than 22nd March.
