Ripple Surf Coast is bringing together local impact organisations, businesses and investors in Torquay to discover and celebrate organisations using their venture as a force for good and creating positive impact in the Surf Coast, Geelong and Bellarine regions with our Surf Coast Impact Pitch Party.

Selected organisations pitch in front of a live audience and a notable selection panel including Simon Wright from Intervalley Ventures, Matt Vitale from Birchal Crowdfunding, Mariam Issa, Chad Stephens from Kenobe and Gretchen Gibson from the Surf Coast Shire with more to be announced.

Chosen applicants will have the opportunity to go through pitching training and potential investment packages and mentoring from our partner organisations to help propel their venture forward.

To apply to pitch, please register here. Applications close August 21.

Successful applicants will be invited to pitch training at Happy Spaces Torquay on August 25 to hone their presentation skills.

In May we hosted our first party in front of a live audience with over 100 in attendance, supported by our notable investor panel and the magic and musical wizardry of MC Mykel Dixon and band, who will be back at it again. He will bring the party, literally. Mykel is an award winning speaker, author and recognised authority on creativity, culture and the future of work.

Yep, this is not to be missed.

The pitch party isn't just for those looking to present, it's for anyone looking to connect with an exciting group of impact investors, local businesses and people passionate about community, sustainability and the new economy.

If this sounds like you, come and join the party.

Admission, entertainment food and beverages included.
