Raising capital as an impact startup often feels like navigating through deep waters: complex investor expectations, legal uncertainties, strategic trade-offs. What’s often missing isn’t motivation – but orientation.
The Impact Funding Sessions offer first-hand investor insights, strategic knowledge transfer and open dialogue. Designed for impact founders ready to navigate their funding journey with more structure, clarity – and fewer blind spots.

What does investment readiness really mean from a VC’s perspective – and which of the myths founders hear actually hold true?
In this expert talk, FASE puts two seasoned VC investors in the hot seat to decode how venture capital assesses investment readiness. Together with Anna Sophie Blistein (Partner at BONVENTURE) and Laurent-Frederic Lohmann (Investor at 4P Capital), we challenge common assumptions, clear up persistent myths, and offer founders rare access to the thinking behind the term sheet.
Moderated by Marie-Kristin Wysk, FASE.

What should every founder know before negotiating terms and preparing for the notary appointment?
In our upcoming Impact Funding Session we are partnering with the international law firm CMS we shine light into the legal aspects of fundraising – from understanding relevant key clauses to building best-practice negotiation strategies. Together with our experts Dr. Friedrich von Spee (Counsel at CMS) and Dr. Martin Eichholz (Senior Associate at CMS), we unpack key clauses, common red flags, and negotiation strategies in term sheets, shareholder agreements, and investment contracts. This session is a practical guide to legal best practices for early-stage funding rounds.
Moderated by Maria Pfeffer, FASE.
