Lowering the barrier, not the bar.
The Giant Warm Intro is back! Meet Australia’s most accomplished and active VCs and Angel Investors.
Ask for advice, test your pitch, create connections, or simply find out 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 are especially focussed on welcoming women and other founders from underrepresented groups.
