About Event

Sydney Venture Partners is pleased to host Ben Grabiner, Co-Founder and General Partner Side Stage Ventures, for a session on one of the most important frameworks in early-stage investing, the 4Ts: TAM, Team, Tech and Timing.

Ben will walk us through how investors evaluate a startup in that first meeting. What they are looking for, what raises conviction and what kills a deal before it even gets started.

Side Stage Ventures backs ambitious founders across Australia at pre-seed and seed stage, so this is insight straight from someone doing the work in the Australian ecosystem right now.

Monday 18 May 2:00 PM University of Sydney CBD Campus, Level 17 133 Castlereagh Street, Sydney

This is a guest speaker session in the SVP VC training curriculum that we're opening up to the public.
