Australia's startup landscape has unique characteristics that textbooks don't cover. Our approach focuses on practical scenarios you'll actually encounter.
From understanding ASIC regulations to working with local VCs, we cover the specifics that matter when you're building something here.
The Australian startup community is smaller than Silicon Valley but incredibly collaborative. We'll help you understand how relationships drive business here.
Our network includes founders who've raised Series A rounds, CFOs from successful exits, and investors actively writing checks.
Most finance courses teach theory. We teach what actually happens when you're sitting across from investors, building monthly reports, or explaining burn rate to your board.
We've worked with companies from pre-revenue through IPO. The patterns are predictable once you know what to look for.
After spending seven years as CFO at three different startups, I've seen the same financial mistakes repeated over and over. The gap between academic finance and startup reality is huge.
I built this program because I was tired of seeing smart founders struggle with basic financial planning. Not because they weren't capable, but because nobody taught them what venture debt actually looks like or how to structure employee equity properly.
