Fishburners is partnering with OnMarket to deliver the epic Battle of the Founders Pitch Night, back for 2024! We invite you to join us on the 24th of October for the third NSW Battle of the Founders with 6 incredible startup finalists.

The Battle of the Founders is the ultimate showdown of innovation, bringing together some of the most promising entrepreneurs from across Australia.

In 2022, the Battle of the Founders (BOTF) was born in collaboration with Fishburners, attracting an audience of over 250 people and crowning three victorious founders. In 2023, the competition went interstate, running simultaneously in NSW and QLD. In 2024, we’re ramping up the stakes - inviting revenue generating companies to battle for first place.

The incentive? The competition winner will receive the opportunity to raise capital via equity crowdfunding at no upfront cost, including access to OnMarket’s platform, a digital marketing campaign and PR campaign (thanks to our sponsors).

BOTF fosters the growth of innovation in Australia through scarce and valuable education on business development, capital raising, and pitch refinement.

When: Thursday, 24th October, 5-8 pm
Where: Fishburners, 2/11 York Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, OR virtual
Who: Founders, investors, community members, and you!
