Accelerate: Growth & Funding Talk
Meaningful Growth Milestones and Securing Venture Capital
Featuring Jennifer Scheehle, Founder & CEO of Inogize
Raising venture capital is not just about having a strong idea — it is about showing meaningful progress, setting the right milestones, and clearly articulating why your company is positioned for growth.
Join us for our September Accelerate: Growth & Funding Talk with Jennifer Scheehle, Founder & CEO of Inogize, for a practical session on how founders can identify, set, and communicate the milestones that matter most to investors.
Jennifer brings more than two decades of experience across research, technology, healthcare, nonprofit leadership, startup growth, and executive advisory work. Through Inogize, she helps high-growth startups, Fortune 500 companies, and mission-driven organizations accelerate innovation, sharpen strategy, and drive sustainable growth. She also serves on the Advisory Board and Investment Committee for Accelerating Angels and mentors early-stage ventures through several university and accelerator programs.
In this session, Jennifer will help founders better understand how to define meaningful growth milestones, build a path to achieve them, and communicate progress in a way that resonates with venture capital investors.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of:
- What makes a growth milestone meaningful to investors
- How to set milestones that align with venture-backed growth
- How to create a path toward achieving those milestones
- How to articulate traction and progress clearly
- How to position your company as a more attractive investment opportunity
This session is designed for women founders and startup ecosystem partners supporting early-stage companies.
