Female Founder Brunch + fireside chat

What did that money actually cost you?

How do you protect yourself from day one?

How exactly do I do this?

Every founder is quietly working out the same thing on her own: what do I do, where do I start, when do I raise, do I need a patent, what is a shareholders agreement? The advice she gets usually depends on who's giving it.

So we're putting three people in a room for an honest chat to give the full picture - one founder, Lynelle who is living it, Lighter Capital, who lend against revenue rather than take equity, and startup legal experts, Zed Law to give us the full and honest picture.

We are asking each of them to share lessons learned along the way, what mistakes to avoid and what should be the best first step. Let's chat for 45 mins and then have a Q+A so you can ask the question everyone is thinking.

Bring your appetite, your actual numbers and come full of questions.

Let's go beyond the surface and have a conversation around topics that everyone is thinking, not no one is asking.

You'll leave knowing

• What each type of capital really costs, beyond the headline terms

• Which funding path fits the stage you're at now, not the one you're imagining

• What do I need to do from day one to set this business up

• What all the startup ABC's mean (and which ones to pay attention to)

• Who else in Brisbane is building alongside you

Then, over brunch, let's connect and meet other founders in Brisbane. The founder journey is hard and lonely, With Tech Ready Women, it doesn't have to be.

This event forms part of the official Launch Week for Tank Stream Labs Brisbane. Explore the full event schedule here.
