SUMMARY:Meet VentureX: Fireside Chat with Tracie Clark & Sheryl Frame
DESCRIPTION:​Angel investors we invite you to join us for a fireside with Tracie & Sheryl from VentureX\, an angel syndicate focused on female led ventures or teams. \n​There remains a gap in capital invested into female founded companies globally. In Australia in 2022\, only 3% of venture capital funding went to women only founded companies\, with only 10% going to gender diverse teams. \n​Now is the time to level the playing field. \n​At VentureX we invest in scalable\, for profit companies\, that are female led with at least 1 woman in an executive role and holding significant equity. \n​Sheryl is the CEO of Perth based start-up\, Liquim Limited\, and previously started four IT-related companies. She’s also worked as a Commercialisation Adviser for the Federal Government’s Accelerating Commercialisation (AC) program and now consults on strategy and commercialisation through her own company\, EDICT International Consultant. \n​Tracie is a seasoned angel investor\, having started investing more than 20 years ago\, and manages her own financial planning company. She’s also currently a Director at some impressive organisations including Cancel Council WA & Spacecubed. She was previously the Vice Chair of Perth Angels. \n​For us\, it is not just about writing a cheque. \n​It’s about providing Founders with the guidance\, connections and support to help startups scale and grow through our network of angel investors and business leaders. \n​We’ll be chatting with Tracie & Sheryl about the VentureX thesis\, investment strategies\, types of companies they’ll be investing in\, and how Angels can co-invest alongside them!

SUMMARY:VentureX HQ & IP Australia: Leveraging IP Throughout the Business Journey
DESCRIPTION:For many startups and entrepreneurs\, good Intellectual Property (IP) means being able to compete with and stay ahead of larger corporations. Registered IP such as patents for inventions\, trademarks for brands\, designs for the way a product looks and feels or colours it uses or is known for\, is a source of market power. So\, how do we make sure we stay ahead\, access the right tools and support\, and be protected? \nProudly supported by the Department of Jobs\,Tourism\, Science and Innovation New Industries Fund WA\, VentureX HQ is delighted to present this event with special guest flying in from Canberra\, Michael Schwager\, Director General of IP Australia on Tuesday\, 25 October from 7:30am to 9:15am. IP Australia is currently offering multiple avenues to assist businesses across Australia\, these include research into how the IP system can better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people\, an SME IP Portal to support smaller businesses through a range of tailored resources\, and a Small Businesses Upskill educational program.
