The event is designed to bring growth companies together with large investors. In addition to matching attractive, pre-screened companies with investors, the event also has a clear educational component. To this end, the event sets out to share insights with aspiring entrepreneurs with respect to the skills necessary for building strong business ideas and presenting them in a compelling fashion. The jury of large investors is also selected to share valuable knowledge with the intention of helping participating companies grow and prosper. In this way, the event should inspire aspiring entrepreneurs and offer investors access to attractive investment opportunities.

Note: All revenues from ticket sales (100%) will be donated to organizations active in fighting wildfires in Australia.

Format: Each Founder gives a 10’ pitch presentation in the growth company competition, followed by 10’ Q&A with a team of jury members. The jury consists of established capital owners. In addition, the audience votes anonymously to rank the quality of the business ideas. RFS will help the winners of the audience prize raise capital via 1-on-1 meetings with large investors to help them raise growth capital.
