Connect With Startup Fundraising Community
Events at silaronvepq bring together founders who are navigating the fundraising journey. These aren't typical networking sessions—we focus on practical discussions about what actually works when you're trying to secure capital.
Our calendar runs through 2025 with monthly meetups and quarterly intensive workshops. Each gathering tackles specific fundraising challenges that early-stage companies face in the Australian market.
Monthly Founder Meetups
Third Thursday of each month, we host informal gatherings where founders share real experiences. Bring your pitch deck questions or just listen to others working through similar challenges.
Valuation Reality Check
Most founders struggle with setting realistic valuations. We'll look at recent Australian seed rounds and discuss what investors actually consider when they value early-stage companies.
Term Sheet Walkthrough
Got your first term sheet? Not sure what's standard versus what's concerning? Bring your questions about equity, vesting, liquidation preferences, and other terms that confuse most first-time founders.
Angel vs VC Approaches
Different investor types require different pitches. We'll compare what works when approaching angels versus institutional funds, including how to adjust your deck and conversation style.
Quarterly Deep-Dive Sessions
Four times a year, we run full-day workshops that go beyond the basics. These sessions are designed for founders who are actively fundraising or preparing to start within the next few months.
Each workshop includes structured presentations, small group work, and individual feedback sessions. You'll leave with specific action items—not just general advice.
Larissa works with groups of 12-15 founders to keep discussions focused and relevant. She's been through three fundraising rounds herself and now helps others avoid the mistakes she made along the way.
