FundWA

Exciting night connecting with WA’s innovation leaders! We had the privilege of hosting a panel discussion with Minister Stephen Dawson, FundWA’s Glenn Butcher and Asheesh Malaney, and industry expert Sherman Lo. They shared invaluable insights on how innovation is shaping WA’s future. A special thanks to Troy Barbagallo and the Barbagallo Watch Boutique for hosting us amidst a brilliant crowd of WA-based Harvard Business School, INSEAD, and The Wharton School alumni. Great to have the current visiting 2024 INSEAD MBA cohort join us, too! Two key takeaways that resonated with all were that #westernaustralia has all the right ingredients to leverage a real long-term opportunity + that our biggest threat is pessimism. #innovation #WA #leadership Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation, Government of Western Australia, #INSEAD #WAInnovation #AussieInnovation #PerthTech #WorldClassInnovation #WAStartups #FundWA #paneldiscussion #networking INSEAD Alumni Association INSEAD Alumni INSEAD Private Equity Club (IPEC) Michael Nguyen Glenn Murray Trent Rachow Pia Turcinov AM

Pia Turcinov AM featured on the Curtin Invest: Deal workshop panel to introduce angel investing to our local ecosystem. Angels play such an important role in providing innovators with the necessary funding to get off the ground, and adding tremendous value in the process.

We're excited to introduce the FundWA Open Door initiative, providing local founders with the opportunity to discuss fundraising, or pitch to a member of our team. No warm introduction needed.
