Ripple Surf Coast is bringing together startups, investors and local businesses in Torquay to discover and celebrate emerging sustainable startups in the Surf Coast, Geelong and Bellarine regions with our Surf Coast Sustainable Startup Pitch Party.
Selected startups in front of a live audience and a notable selection panel including Simon Wright from Intervalley Ventures, Rachel Yang from Giant Leap VC, Phoebe Gardner from Bardee, Simon Loone from the Surf Coast Shire Council and Andrew Davies from B Lab Australia & NZ representing B Corporation (a global community of 4,000 businesses as a force for good).
Our event MC, Mykel Dixon and band will bring the party, literally. He is an award winning speaker, author and recognised authority on creativity, culture and the future of work. Yep, this is going to be fun.
The pitch party isn’t just for founders and startups, it’s for anyone looking to connect with an exciting group of impact investors, local businesses and people passionate about community, sustainability and the new economy.
