Securing funding for your start up is a major challenge for emerging companies.
Understanding your funding options and how to maximise your chances of

how the Australian early stage funding landscape has changed and will guide
you through a number of key methods of obtaining funding for your business in
a difficult capital raising market, including:
• angel funding
• venture capital funding,

• R&D Tax Incentive
In Sydney you will also hear directly from Richard Dale of Sydney Angels and
Sydney Angels Sidecar Fund (Australia’s first sidecar fund), and in Melbourne
