Founder Institute Pitch Event with Jason Calacanis
Thu Feb 11, 12:30PM AEDT
ONLINE | FREE
When LAUNCH Festival came to Sydney a few years back a highlight of the event was the lightning pitches. Not so much for the pitches themselves, but for our host Jason Calacanis’ critique and feedback. The man has an uncanny ability to quickly sense and articulate where the value in an idea might be. His pitch feedback was priceless not just for the founders who were pitching but also for the audience.
Catch this event from Founder Institute Sydney for an opportunity to see some promising pre-seed startups from across the globe and hear from entrepreneur and angel investor Jason Calacanis.

Keen to see how your organisation can attract neurodiverse talent and start hiring people who really do “think differently”? Make sure you catch this session hosted by General Assembly Sydney.
Increasing your SaaS Trial Conversions Without Developer Involvement
Tue Feb 16, 8:00AM AEDT
ONLINE | FREE
This event brought to you by Blackbird has such a dry title, you’d be forgiven for passing it over.
But if you’re an early-stage founder trying to get your head around how you can put in place an experimental and iterative approach to improving your customer journey, without the whole process grinding to a halt because of developer bottlenecks, this could well be the most important session you see this year.
