SUMMARY:Real-time fundraising adventures with Drew Pflaum (SavvyWise)
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Drew Pflaum\, co-founder and CEO of SavvyWise\, will share a candid founder journey from idea to early traction\, including the lessons\, mistakes\, trade-offs\, and decisions that shaped the company’s first six months.\nIn July 2025\, SavvyWise was just an idea. By September\, the team had launched an MVP. By October\, they had their first paying customer. The months that followed brought a rapid series of milestones: winning the Venture UWA incubator\, passing $100k in sales\, completing several capital raises\, and seeing the company’s valuation grow across each round. \nBut behind those headline numbers is the more useful story: how the idea came together\, how the team found early customers\, what they learned from investors\, and how they managed the pressure of building while fundraising. \nAbout Drew:\nDrew Pflaum\, CPA\, is the co-founder and CEO of SavvyWise. Before starting SavvyWise\, Drew was a Director at Perth-based accounting firm Munro’s\, and brings a background in accounting\, advisory\, and business strategy to his work as a startup founder\, combining commercial experience with the hands-on realities of building a new company from scratch.

SUMMARY:Building and selling a product that didn’t have a category - with Michael Kuzma.
DESCRIPTION:Michael Kuzma spent more than seven years building robotic self-playing guitars before figuring out if anyone would actually want one. \nIn this session\, Michael will share the practical lessons learned while creating and selling a product that sits somewhere between robotics\, music\, engineering and art. Working largely solo from Perth\, he went from having no clear market\, to viral attention\, to thousands of low-quality enquiries\, and eventually to a small number of highly qualified buyers around the world. \nThe journey forced him to rethink pricing\, marketing\, storytelling\, and what a sustainable business actually looks like when your product does not fit neatly into an existing category. \nMichael will unpack how he turned polarising online attention into global exposure\, redesigned his sales process to filter serious buyers from curious onlookers\, and learned to position a strange\, high-end hardware/art product for international customers willing to pay for it.

SUMMARY:The one thing you need to do before creating a startup
DESCRIPTION:Most founders start with the idea. Far fewer stop to ask the more important question first: what do you actually want out of this? \nYour personal goals — financial\, lifestyle\, the kind of work that genuinely satisfies you\, the reputation you want to build\, the values you won’t trade away — should shape the business you build\, not the other way around. Take an engineer who gets their energy from solving lots of different problems: licensing their ideas might suit them far better than scaling a single company to a trade sale\, even if the headline financial return looks smaller. Same idea\, very different business — and only one of them actually fits the founder. \nWho it’s for: Innovators\, startup founders and aspiring founders — especially anyone at the idea stage trying to work out what they’re really building towards.
