They invest in companies ready to scale beyond the earliest stage\, to take their technology and innovation into new markets.\nQuokka Capital is an active venture partner who invests in ventures that have exceptional founding teams that can be primed for global growth. Their hands-on venture model is a response to the challenges faced by startups that struggle to access active business support during early capital raises.\n\nAgenda:\n7:30 am: Welcome\, audience shameless plugs\, and announcements\n7:45 am: Panel session with Purpose Ventures\, FundWA and Quokka Capital\n8:20 am: Audience Q&A\n8:30 am: Begin networking\n9:00 am: Finish \nLive stream \nThis event will also be live streamed for the regions courtesy of the New Industries Fund from the Department of Jobs\, Tourism\, Science and Innovation! \nWhen the time comes\, you can watch the live stream here:\nhttps://perthvideo.com.au/morning-startup-perth/
