Solving the Funding Gap - Monday 2 November 2009 Print E-mail
Saturday, 10 October 2009 05:54

Where do you source funding when you've outgrown the bootstrapping model but are too small for the Big Boys.

Traditionally Australian entrepreneurs have struggled to source capital in the $250k to $2 million range - this is usually beyond the means of most to self fund, but considered too small for Venture Capital to be an effective route to follow. Angel Capital and Private Equity have been largely inaccessible to anyone outside these closed networks.

Over the past few years, much has changed in this area. Come along and hear about these developments.
