Fin-Tech Pitch Night with Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand
Event description
This pitch night will feature a lineup of fin-tech startups, including ones that have worked closely with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand.
Chartered Accountants and Fishburners have been partners over the past couple of years to great success. The skills, tools, and knowledge sharing have enriched both parties tremendously. Chartered Accountants empower their members to become leaders and shapers of finance and business in Australia and New Zealand, wherever they may work around the world.
The judge's winner for the Fin-Tech pitch night will be awarded a bonus prize from Up; a digital bank designed to help you organise your money and simplify your life. Up is Australia's highest-rated banking app, which allows you to smash your savings goals, get on top of your spending, pay mates, kill bills, and bank overseas without the fees. Use the code 'FISHBURNERS' with Up's lightning-fast phone signup, and you'll get a bonus $10 in your new Up account.
Please note that networking begins at 5pm, and the pitches themselves kick off at 5.30pm (for those streaming in virtually). If you are feeling unwell, please do not attend our physical event and tune in virtually.

For those of you who have never attended a Friday Pitch Night, here's a bit of context! Every Friday night from 5pm, Fishburners opens its doors to host Shark Tank-style, Friday Night Pitches. We are a non for profit community of entrepreneurs that is dedicated to growing tech startups - and this is Australia's largest, most regular event in the ecosystem.
Our $10 entry price is directed back into the Fishburners community and covers your pizza, beer, wine, and nonalcoholic beverages for the evening. The ticket booking fee will also be put toward Room to Read, which is a leading non-profit focused on girls' education and children's literacy in Asia and Africa.
