Hear Tech for Good founders' groundbreaking tech solutions to world-centric problems.

About the event

Decide what's next and join us on the 26th of October at RMIT Activator HQ as our Tech for Good Founders pitch their tech solutions to issues and challenges addressed in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This event is part of the RMIT Entrepreneurship Month, What's Possible? and is supported by the amazing people at Earlywork.

In this event our impact focused founders will have the opportunity to tell the world about why their tech is for GOOD and pitch their action to a panel of investors - - from VC’s and Angels.

Judging Panel:

Tom Smalley – Investment Manager at Skalata

Chad Wyatt – Director and Head of Development at Pitch Venture Capital

Stephen Grocott – Head of Strategy and Engagement at RMIT Activator

Each team will have 3 minutes to pitch and 5 minutes for Q&A. When all the teams finish pitching, each judge will offer one team a one-hour 1-on-1 mentoring session with them.

But it isn't a pitch event without you! You'll get the chance to decide the People's Award alongside the rest of the community to celebrate an idea that challenges what is known and encapsulates transpiring impact. Grab your free ticket and join us!

Sounds exciting? Apply to pitch now via this link (EOI closing 12 pm Friday 14 Oct) - We look forward to hearing about your venture!
