Last week we held our first ever Space Company Venture Capital Pitch Day in Sydney! The event showcased four South Australian space companies and was attended by representatives of Eastern States venture investors keen to finance emerging space companies. We’re enormously proud of the four founders who did an amazing job presenting some of our great emerging South Australian space opportunities. Harrison Box - @paladinspace_ Kelly Yeoh - @BlueDwarfSpace Lloyd Jacob Lopez - HEX20 Matthew Tetlow - @inovortech All four companies are graduates of both @ICCUniSA's Venture Catalyst Program and our Space Company Growth Ramp program. This pitch day was the natural next step in their growth journey, connecting them directly with investors. A special thank you to our partners, @SASIC_Aus and South Australia’s @SthnAngels investor group, for their support in making this inaugural event a success. We can’t wait to see these space companies launch into their next phase of growth! 🚀 #SpaceTech #VentureCapital #SouthAustralia #CentreForBusinessGrowth #SABusiness #BusinessGrowth
