Break away from the traditional venture capital script and discover a broader toolkit for scaling your business. Hosted by The Founders Union and Tech Ready Women in collaboration with Spark Fest, 'Beyond the Raise' is an education-first event designed to help founders understand the various types of capital available to fund growth and extend their runway.
Featuring a panel of experts from Kashcade, Lighter Capital, and Westpac, the session will dive deep into the mechanics of different lending options. You will learn exactly who each funding type suits, when to pursue specific capital, and what qualifications lenders look for when evaluating a startup.
Whether you are currently raising, planning your next round, or simply want to understand how to manage equity and dilution, this session provides the clarity needed to build a deliberate capital stack. Join us at Tank Stream Suites in Sydney to learn how to make strategic funding decisions that protect your equity and fuel your long-term vision.
