The current economic climate poses significant challenges for entrepreneurs and their start-ups, but for truly exceptional ideas there is always money.

Cambridge University Technology and Enterprise Club (CUTEC) and Cambridge University Entrepreneurs (CUE) invite you to a stellar panel of early-stage investors who currently have funds available and are actively looking for new opportunities. They will explain why they think it is still a good time to invest, as well as how the crisis affects their investment criteria.
