Most founders put all their energy into the pitch. Not enough into what happens next.

Join Reuben K. Sam, founder of Enprise Network, for a practical session on exactly that. He'll walk you through a simple framework for deciding who to follow up with, when, and why, so those conversations turn into customers, partnerships, investment and relationships that actually go somewhere.

This one's built on real observations from Manchester's startup scene, so expect practical tools you can use straight after your next event, not just theory.

Who's it for

This one's for founders at any stage who are done letting good conversations go nowhere. If you've ever left an event with a stack of business cards you never followed up on, or pitched to someone brilliant and then let the moment fizzle out, this is for you.

It'll be especially useful if you're:

Regularly pitching, networking or meeting investors and don't have a system for what happens next

Part of Manchester's startup ecosystem and want practical tools, not theory

Building a startup, community or programme and want your people to get more out of every event they attend

Whether you've pitched on stage, worked a room at a networking event, or had a great chat with a potential investor, customer or collaborator, the real value comes from what you do once the conversation's over.
