eGroup June Forum - How to raise capital and make the most of the ideas boom?!
Hi Everyone,
For our eGroup June forum on Tuesday 7th June, we bring you, not one but three different perspectives on the topic "how to raise capital and make the most of the ideas boom"?!
With the launch of the National Innovation & Science Agenda and the passing of key legislation providing generous tax incentives for early stage investors there is great opportunity to raise capital to launch or accelerate the growth of your startup. Australian venture capital funds are targeting triple their record 2015 fundraising, with $900 million in new funds announced since August last year.
High net worth investors are looking to diversify their portfolios away from mining and property and are looking at early stage technology companies. But where do you start? eGroup has lined up a panel of speakers to help you.
