FWD>FEST Sunshine Coast Walk
A special edition of the Sunshine Tech Walk, in partnership with FwdFest.
Founders, builders, and investors. A morning walk. Real conversations about what's actually happening in AI and raising capital right now.
No stages. No slides. No awkward intros.
Just good people, fresh air, and honest talk before the day kicks off.
About This Walk
FwdFest brings the Sunshine Coast's entrepreneurial and innovation community together all week.
We're adding a morning walk to the mix.
Because the best conversations at any event don't happen in the sessions.
They happen on the sidelines. Over coffee. In between.
This is that moment, on purpose.
Hosted by Jason, Donnie and Zac
Three people deep in the AI and capital raising world, walking alongside you.
Not presenting. Just talking. Ask them anything.
How It Works
Simple structure. High quality conversations.
☕ Start with a coffee
💬 Quick intros as a group
🚶 Pair up and walk in one direction
🔄 On the way back, switch to a new person
You'll have two proper conversations. No noise.
What We're Talking About
The stuff people are actually wrestling with right now.
How AI is changing how founders build and operate
What investors are looking for in this environment
How to raise capital when the rules keep shifting
Not theoretical. Grounded in what's happening now.
Who It's For
Startup founders and operators
Builders shipping real products
Investors and advisors
Anyone at FwdFest who'd rather connect than just collect business cards
If you're here to sell, this isn't for you. If you're here to think out loud with interesting people, you'll fit right in.
