SUMMARY:Mapping Australia’s Funding Landscape: What Investors Actually Want in 2025/26
DESCRIPTION:Join the official launch of the pitchhawk Innovation Financing eBook for H1 2025. Hosted by Evolv3’s Steve Carroll in Q&A with pitchhawk CEO Mike Ganon\, this webinar will unpack the when\, why\, who\, and where of innovation funding for 2025/26. \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nKey themes: what can attendees expect to learn\n▶ The liquidity mirage – how ZIRP inflated your valuation: Webinar attendees will gain insights into the shifting macroeconomic forces that shape startup valuations and in turn impact on fundraising timing and the available sources of capital. They’ll also gain an understanding of why investor expectations have moved from pure excitement to disciplined execution\, driven by the AI experience to date\, the reality that interest rates stayed high for longer than markets were anticipating\, as well as tighter liquidity\, changing geopolitics and the re-regionalisation of critical material supply chains. \n▶ The AI Distortion and lessons from the Dot-Com bubble: Mainstream media assertions that the AI-driven opportunity landscape might be “rhyming” with the dot-com era will also be explored to help anticipate investor mindset and behaviour in this new frontier. \n▶ Mapping Australia’s funding landscape\, and what investors actually want in 2025: A broad overview of the Australian innovation funding landscape\, the key categories of capital providers that founders should be aware of\, and what they will be looking for in 2025 and 2026 will also be covered. \n▶ pitchhawk launch: Last but not least\, the webinar introduces pitchhawk—a tech-enabled services platform created by Mike Ganon and powered by three decades of know-how across hundreds of transactions. pitchhawk helps founders and innovators uncover the true investability of their business\, then fortify what’s strong and rebuild what’s missing before stepping in front of investors. Unlike traditional fundraising prep which tends to paper over gaps\, pitchhawk focuses on the underlying business and investment thesis\, delivering genuine business fortification and investor readiness\, at a fraction of the cost and time.Whether you’re pre-seed\, raising Series A or later\, or preparing for IPO\, or exit\, pitchhawk ensures you’re truly investor-ready before entering the capital markets. \nAbout the speakers\n\nMike Ganon is an on-the-tools expert in corporate development\, financing\, mergers and acquisitions\, investing and capital markets.

DESCRIPTION:The Startup Muster Survey is the largest survey of Australian startups and the organisations that support them (educators\, investors\, accelerators\, incubators\, coworking spaces\, service providers\, government\, precincts and any other organisations supporting startups). \nWhy complete the survey? \n\nYou’re joining an unprecedented national effort to show the great things in Australia’s startup ecosystem.

These are questions from the ecosystem\, for the ecosystem\, and they have also worked to trim 25 questions from the last survey that didn’t yield actionable data.\nYou’ll contribute to a twelve year legacy of Australian ecosystem data. Many of these questions date back to the first survey in 2013\, with a similar collection approach\, providing a unique picture of how this sector has evolved.\nYou’ll see comparison charts that show how your answers compare to other survey participants so far this year.\nYou’ll receive special offers and discounts on completion from partners.\n\nThis survey will take a while (grab a coffee)\, but you can stop any time and come back to resume later.
