Coffs Coast locals will be able to learn about how crowdfunding can help fund growth in their business at the latest Startup Grind event, courtesy of Matt Vitale from Aussie company Birchal. Startup Grind Coffs Harbour is an initiative in partnership with Google to help our local business community grow. The core values are: Making friends, not contacts; giving, not taking; helping others before helping yourself.

“Coffs locals can now invest in local businesses or larger Aussie brands. Birchal’s mission is to help all Australians invest in the brands they love.” according to local Startup Grind host Tony Rothaker. Learn how Birchal helped Shebah Rideshare, a rideshare platform for women, raise $3m. Birchal are passionate about educating and involving local business communities on the relatively new ASIC approved Crowd-sourced Funding regime.
