The Creative Arts Forum

CAIN has established a Creative Arts Forum (CAF). This is a team of sector specialists covering each of the sectors in which the Network operates. The Forum works with CAIN to help to assess the creative and business potential of the propositions submitted to the Network.

The CAF is used as a sounding and advisory board to CAIN and its selected presentee companies and works with CAIN to critically assess the creative and business potential of the propositions submitted to the Network.

The formation of the Forum and its involvement with and support of CAIN demonstrates that CAIN represents more than just a source of potential capital for presentee companies. The Network provides investment readiness advice, feedback, sector expertise and sector-specific connections.

A concise overview for each CAIN selected presentee company is prepared and presented to the Forum for comment. The Forum provides a safe and constructive environment for discussion of selected CAIN propositions and through which, those companies can receive valuable feedback on the content of their overviews in advance of submission to the Network’s investor members.

CAIN and its Forum can also signpost companies with creative and commercial potential to appropriate sector-specific business planning assistance for investment readiness if required.
