Capital Raising Demystified: A Conference For Startups

Announcement posted by M5859 Apps 17 Apr 2016

Learn from Australia's top start up founders
M5859 Apps has extensive experience with introducing Australian start ups to Silicon Valley investors, in particular the early investors and VCs behind Twitter and Snapchat to name a few. 

It's with that experience that Matthew Snowden, CEO of M5859 Apps identified a glaring gap in the Australian market. Local startups just don't always have the experience, exposure and practical lessons to draw upon to approach the fund raising process successfully. M5859 Apps is the same team behind App of The Year 2012 with Stephen Fry and currently mentors a comprehensive portfolio of startups, all of which has flagged the same need for help to raise seed and early stage investments. 

There is an undeniable knowledge gap. As a result, the M5859 team have gathered the most well-rounded local experts in this field for their upcoming one-day conference on everything related to capital raising. This is positioned as an intensive full day bootcamp for startups to learn practical and validated techniques to successfully raise funds for their businesses. Speakers include representatives from BlueChilli, DLA Piper, Signal Ventures and the founders of three hot local start ups to provide their valuable advice.

M5859 Apps have been running a remarkably successful monthly Startup Series, which has sold out Crown Conference centre as a means to continue to educate entrepreneurs about the most proven methods to build a successful startup. 

This one day conference is a continuation of this demystification process.  You can learn more about the event here.
