Jess McCreadie to bring added grit to Rainmakers conference

Northern Gritstone is the latest investor in ambitious Northern businesses to commit to contributing to the first Rainmakers Conference to be held at The Point conferencing facilities at the Emirates Old Trafford on March 20, 2024.
Jess McCreadie will be joining expert speakers on the discussion – “Creating the next winning deals” alongside a stellar panel including Matthew Scullion from Matillion and Claire Lewis, the CEO of Baltic Ventures.
Jess was recently appointed Investment Director of Northern Gritstone. She joined Northern Gritstone from Octopus Ventures and her remit will include Health Tech and Clean Tech, areas in which Northern Gritstone seeks to back businesses spinning out of the North’s leading research intensive universities.
Leading homegrown Northern investment businesses have come together to launch Rainmakers, a major new event designed to place the corporate financiers and advisers of the North at the heart of the movement for economic renewal.
Tickets can be purchased here.
The event is being organised by TheBusinessDesk.com and the partners in this event believe passionately that the jobs created, specialisms developed, and the entrepreneurs unleashed give the Rainmakers community the right to a seat at the table and a voice in the debate on the economy of the North.
The conference will be an opportunity to not only celebrate the contribution from funds raised and deals created, but also to look to the future at the challenges ahead.
The event has been forged alongside the key partners from private equity and specialist financiers in the North, and backed by elite teams of advisory businesses, the event will bring together funders, entrepreneurs, business leaders to focus on opportunities and challenges.
It will feature keynote speakers and panel discussions addressing key challenges such as the mobilisation of pension fund assets into investment opportunities, impact investing, building a talent pool in corporate finance, creating the pipeline of investable businesses with potential.
