An applied, interactive look under the hood at the investment readiness journey, designed for not-for-profits and social entrepreneurs seeking impact investment capital now or in the future.

Over an intensive 2.5 hours this workshop will:
  • Enable you to determine whether you are ready for impact investment, and if not, be informed about what you need to do to get there, facilitated by international specialist Matt Knopp. Matt has recently relocated to Sydney from the UK, bringing over a decade’s experience advising NFP’s and social enterprises on scaling up and investment readiness.
  • Bring the investment readiness journey to life as Bruce Muirhead shares his story of raising capital for Mindhive, a social enterprise born out of Queensland based not-for-profit, Eidos.
  • Educate yourself about the ecosystem of funding and support available through the Impact Investment Ready Program and what makes a successful application, as told by Jenny Ziegner of Impact Investing Australia.
