I promise Real Talk, No BS. Join Rune Theill from Rockstart, our knowledgeable panel, and yours truly to discuss should we de-bias the human being or the structures?, who is responsible for a diverse pipeline - society, investors or ? and what is the overall potential when we refer to venture cases, and IS A 50/50 DIVERSITY GOAL TOO AMBITIOUS? and let us know your take and experience. As always, when I'm involved, we'll be focusing upon making a real difference, i.e. balancing systemic change and feasibility within the prerequisite of diversity helping to drive financial performance. 👉 See you at TechBBQ Community Stage, 12 September, 12:00-1:00pm. #WeDoBetterTogether Export and Investment Fund of Denmark Seed Capital Denmark Danske Bank Growth PSV Danish Business Angels - DanBAN byFounders Innovation Fund Denmark Industriens Fond #WhatYouMeasureMatters Team INTENTIONAL: Stine Aske Mariana Andreas #TechBBQ2024 🧡

When we launched the 77 Venture Challenge in early 2020, little did we anticipate the global health pandemics, startup capital volatilities and skilled employee shortages that would follow. However, our greatest surprise was a positive one - the impressive quality of startup founders that emerged out of Queensland and Australia, and who are now scaling to become serious international players. GreaseBoss, SyncTechnologies , Kurloo Technology, Telemattica, Planet Price | B Corp, Graphics et al., Tendl, Edexia (YC W25) and many more! As we open up the 7th cohort for applications, we're excited to continue to grow our support for early stage ventures including assistance with applying for high level, follow-on opportunities such as Y Combinator. Our deep gratitude to everyone in the ecosystem who enables the program, including key sponsors QIC, AusIndustry and Advance Queensland.
