MVP Champions
Event description
When learning about the growth of some successful startups, it can be hard to imagine how such success was achieved! For many founders, receiving a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) grant is often the first step to building a successful startup.
The NSW Government’s MVP grant provides up to $25,000 of funding for innovative pre-revenue startups to develop their technology solution with the aim of attracting their first sale.
Join us on Thursday 20 October at 11:00am for a special panel discussion as we showcase four successful startups that have received an MVP grant. These founders will discuss their startup journey and how the MVP grant assisted their growth.
This event is a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn some of the secrets to building a successful MVP with key takeaways on the steps you need to take to follow in their footsteps!
This panel will share:
- How they got their startup idea off the ground
- Some of the early challenges they faced
- The support they received and where they got it
- What they wish they knew when they were starting out
- Milestones that led to their success
- Plans for the future

iJETPACK Aeronautics - Jennie Bewes, Founder and CEO/Chief Pilot
An intuitive wearable aircraft capable of Vertical Take-Off & Landing ('wVTOL') that can fit in a suitcase, be ready for flight within minutes, and take-off/operate/land in areas too confined for any other aircraft. It is purely body-controlled meaning that unlike all other aircraft (including Jetpack), the Jetsuit has no risk of mechanical failure, and its human vs engineered fuselage significantly reduces time to get airborne (what takes an hour or more with other aircraft, takes a few minutes with a Jetsuit).
