Startup Onramp Pre-Accelerator Course
20200522
The Startup Onramp Pre-Accelerator is a crash course of all you need to know to start your online scalable business.

About this Event

The Startup Onramp Pre-Accelerator is a 12-week program for startup founders who are early in their startup journey, including those who currently have a day job and want to make the transition from employee to startup founder.

The program has three core components:

A weekly workshop comprising a mix of facilitator-led discussion and group work. The workshops are structured to follow a logical progression from idea validation to product development, customer acquisition, capital raising and growth. Many of the workshops include a guest presenter who leads a deep-dive discussion on a specific topic.

Weekly one-on-one mentoring sessions ensure you keep making progress between the weekly workshops.

A pitch night in which all founders pitch their startup and share their learnings with fellow entrepreneurs. Pitch night is an important milestone and an opportunity to gain valuable media attention for your startup. It is not an investor pitching event, although if you’re ready to pitch to investors we can offer plenty of guidance on how and where to find the right investor.

By the end of the program you will have:

Improved your understanding of startup best practice

Validated your idea with customers

Identified (and avoided) the most likely causes of failure for your startup

Expanded your network to include successful founders and investors

Built (at least) a web site and a professional brand

Identified a viable business model and revenue streams

Become proficient at pitching your startup to investors, potential co-founders, accelerators and customers

Mapped out a plan for the next 12 months of growth of your startup

How to source alternative startup investment
20200514

Sourcing seed investment, bank or grant funding to mobilise an innovation can be tough, and ironically funds are often used to engage service providers.

The Pitch Portal is a new online investment network and toolkit that seeks to ‘cut out the middle’ man and connect business ideas and opportunities with skilled professional, technical and creative service providers willing to ‘get skin in the game’ for a negotiated payment proposition.

Hosted by The Pitch Portal’s co-founder, Amanda Fay, this webinar will:

  • Discuss the sad reality of a current funding situation that favours scale-ups and accelerators and why many start-ups don’t survive;
  • Show you the range of services available for you to engage with little to no capital requirement;
  • Provide insight into the service investor psyche and the range of value propositions available to you;
  • Lead you through the new online portal and an integrated toolkit that is designed not only to help businesses connect with investors but manage collaborative relationships and draw on an extensive pool of knowledge;
  • Offer discounts and incentives that will extend throughout your life on the website.

Registration is recommended and for more information on The Pitch Portal visit www.thepitchportal.com.
