Giant Warm Intro is back!
We have partnered with Cremorne Digital Hub as part of Tech Week ‘24 to bring GWI to the Victorian startup ecosystem in a new in-person format.
You’ll have the opportunity to meet 1:1 in a supportive, collaborative environment to ask for advice, test your pitch, create connections, or learn about the fundraising process.
Think of it like speed dating. You will be matched with like-minded VCs with expertise in your category.
We actively encourage pre-seed tech founders looking to raise capital in the next 12 months, and we especially welcome women and underrepresented groups to apply:
NOTE: Please only apply if you can attend in person on October 31st in Cremorne, Victora.
Your Giant Warm Intro Investors for Tech Week are:
Rampersand, BlackBird, Giant Leap, Square Peg, Skalata, Artesian, Gandel Invest, The Alice Anderson Fund, Seek Investments and Co:Act.
Lowering the barrier, not the bar.
The Giant Warm Intro is an opportunity to meet Australia’s most accomplished and active VCs and Angel Investors.
Ask for advice, test your pitch, create connections, or simply learn about the fundraising process in a supportive, collaborative environment across 1:1 sessions — and maybe you’ll even meet your next investor.
It’s a well-known fact that women and founders of underrepresented groups receive only a tiny proportion of venture capital funding in Australia. While 22% of start-ups in Australia are founded by women only 7% secure venture capital funding.
Giant Warm Intro is a program that gives every pre-seed founder access to a warm introduction to Australia’s most prolific investors. We run an online matchmaking event every August and other in person events nationwide.

While we encourage all AUSNZ technology founders to apply, we especially focus on welcoming women and other founders from underrepresented groups.
