Live Sessions for Australian Founders
Getting startup finance right takes more than reading articles. Our webinars bring real conversations with people who've actually navigated Australian startup funding — from bootstrapping a side project to closing seed rounds in Sydney and Melbourne. These aren't polished keynotes. They're honest discussions about what worked, what didn't, and what you should probably know before your next pitch.
Revenue Models That Actually Fund Growth
Most founders pick subscription models because everyone else does. But there are scenarios where usage-based pricing, tiered access, or even hybrid approaches make more sense for your burn rate and customer behavior. We'll walk through actual revenue model decisions from three Australian startups.
Bootstrapping vs Early Investment: The Trade-offs
Taking money early sounds great until you realize what you're giving up. We'll compare two founders who took opposite paths — one bootstrapped to $2M ARR, the other raised $800K pre-revenue. Both approaches have hidden costs that nobody talks about during pitch events.
Building Financial Discipline Before Series A
Investors don't just look at your pitch deck. They look at how you've managed money so far. This session covers the financial habits that separate fundable startups from those that get passed over — budget discipline, runway planning, and reporting structures that show you're ready for larger capital.
How Our Webinars Work
Pick Your Session
Browse upcoming topics and reserve a spot. Each webinar focuses on one specific challenge — we don't try to cover everything in 90 minutes. You'll know exactly what we're discussing before you join.
Join Live or Catch the Replay
Show up live and ask questions directly, or watch the recording later. Every registered participant gets access to session notes and any templates or frameworks we reference during the discussion.
Apply What You Learn
After each session, you'll get actionable takeaways — not vague inspiration. Think specific spreadsheet templates, checklist steps, or financial models you can adapt for your own startup right away.
Topics We Cover Throughout the Year
Our webinars rotate through finance fundamentals that Australian founders actually deal with. Some topics come up quarterly because they're that important. Others are seasonal — like preparing for EOFY or planning around investor conference cycles in Sydney.
Pitch Deck Finance Sections
Investors skip slides. But they never skip your financial projections. We break down what actually belongs in your finance section and what makes investors close your deck early.
Managing Runway During Slow Months
Revenue doesn't grow in a straight line. Learn how to stretch runway when sales slow down without cutting the things that actually drive growth.
Understanding Cap Tables Early
Most founders don't think about equity structure until it's too late. This session explains cap table basics before you make decisions you can't easily reverse.
Grant Applications That Get Funded
Australian government grants can provide non-dilutive capital, but the application process is specific. We walk through what evaluators actually look for in successful submissions.
