Are you ready to take your idea to create a better food system in Sydney to the next level?
Pitch for Good Sydney: The Future of Food is looking for entrepreneurial approaches to create a more just and sustainable food system in Sydney. Pitch for Good combines the best of on- and offline fundraising. You are given training and support - including exclusive masterclasses with Mark Brand and StartSomeGood CEO Tom Dawkins - to create compelling crowdfunding campaigns for your initiative and to pitch them at a live event where 100% of ticket revenue goes towards your campaigns.
This program has three phases:

2. 10 short-listed projects will be invited to work with StartSomeGood over summer refining their ideas and developing their launch strategy.
