A panel of business owners including Nexba CEO and Founder Troy Douglas, CEO of Timelio Charlotte Petris, CEO of Dad’s Oats Peter Cain, and CEO and Founder of Protein Supplies Australia Mat Stillone will discuss alternative finance, including private equity and crowdfunding to government grants and bootstrapping.
