Beyond traditional funding: how to unlock the power of non-dilutive capital
On the 30th March, join KPMG’s R&D specialists and Joshua Roser, Chief of Staff at Breaker Industries, as we unpack both the details of the R&D Tax Incentive, outline the shifts expected off the back of the SERD review (with recommendations officially out a few days before), and speak with a startup leader on how his R&D-heavy team are preparing.
Join us for a candid discussion on how to access and corroborate funding with reality, what the upcoming changes to the R&D Tax Incentive really mean for founders, and how to prepare with confidence ahead of the reforms. Expect clear insights, grounded guidance and real‑world perspectives on how these changes may affect founders accessibility, how they interact with your cap table and future raises, and how the upcoming reforms may influence what and how you can claim.
You’ll walk away with a sharper understanding of how the reforms could affect your future R&D claims, and how to align your internal processes, strategy and readiness to meet the bar with confidence.
You’ll also gain practical steps you can take today to safeguard your runway and optimise your claim.
You’ll hear from:
Georgia King-Siem, KPMG Partner, R&D Incentives and Grants
Joel DiBella, KPMG Director, R&D Incentives and Grants
Joshua Roser, Chief of Staff at Breaker Industries
Together, we’ll unpack:
How founders can strengthen processes and governance
What to prioritise over the next 3–6 month.
What the SERD review may mean for the future of the R&D Tax Incentive
How upcoming changes may impact accessibility, substantiation and runway
