SMART Session prepares founders to be investible

Founders keen to identify funding opportunities, learn when to raise, and how to connect with investors gained valuable insight by attending a recent UNE SMART Region Incubator (UNE SRI) SMART Session at NOVA.

Cheryl Mack was in Armidale to deliver ‘Prepare to be Investible, SMART Session’.

“Cheryl provided great insight and advice,” said Cherene Spendelove, SRI Regional Connector in Armidale.

“Everyone left the workshop with a stronger understanding of the startup funding landscape, and more prepared to successfully plan a capital raising journey. We were grateful that Cheryl was also able to offer 1:1 mentoring to several UNE SRI founders during the day.”
