🇳🇿 Raising $1.2M in 3 Weeks: The Story Behind Nevam’s Lightning-Fast Round
Sponsored by Xero and Global Women
Join us for a rare Tauranga breakfast with Brittany Fox, the American founder and CEO of Nevam, one of Australasia’s hottest marketing-tech startups. In just three weeks, Brittany raised a $1.2 million pre-seed round, led by New Zealand's Brand Fund and the Huljich family.
Hosted by Jenny Rudd, founder of Dispute Buddy, this intimate conversation will explore how Brittany had a far from easy start in the US to becoming one of the most talked-about founders in the Australian startup scene.
Expect a warm, candid, and energising chat about:
• The moments that built Brittany’s resilience and belief she could do anything
• Her exact playbook for raising $1.2 million in just three weeks
• The emotional and tactical side of fundraising in a tough market
• How storytelling, grit, and clear strategy made all the difference
🎤 This is the real deal - right from the horse’s mouth!
You can’t Google this stuff. Brittany will share exactly how she did it and take questions from the audience.
