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.

This IndigiSpace Pitch Night will showcase some of the great Indigenous businesses involved within their current business development program. They currently have 15 Indigenous businesses involved in a 12 month program based out of Fishburners. Their program involves Indigenous businesses at different stages, starting out at ideation stage, start-up businesses and well-established businesses over two years and helps each business to get validation, clarity and direction, whilst helping them to grow and be successful.

October is Indigenous business month and IndigiSpace is excited to share some of the great businesses in their program with the start-up community.

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 - our charity of choice.

If you're looking for inspiration to start a business, are keen to learn some pitch tips, or just want to find out what startups are new in Sydney, this is for you. It's a great event for current entrepreneurs or anyone interested in entrepreneurship but not sure where to start.

The event schedule for Friday Night Pitches is as follows:

• 5PM: Networking & drinks

• 5:30PM: Pitches begin. Grab a seat!

• 6:30PM-8PM (approx.): Networking

• 8PM: Event concludes

Please note that Fishburners values inclusive communities and all events hosted here are governed by our community code of conduct. This stems from our desire to run a productive and valuable night for our founders and all attendees where everyone feels safe and welcome to attend, bring friends, meet new people, and enjoy the start up landscape.

To make sure we have the best environment in support of this, in cases where someone is detracting from this goal they may be asked to leave for excessive drinking, antisocial behaviour, speaking during the pitches or disengagement with the purpose of the night. If any issues arise that make you feel uncomfortable please don’t hesitate to come and speak to one of the team.

We hope that by this everyone will enjoy an even more energetic and exciting event, continuing to grow in numbers as we focus all our considerable resources on supporting the skills and passions of us all in the start up industry.
