Three Elephants In A Room: Sex, Money, And Power
Three Elephants In A Room: Sex, Money, And Power
Sex, money, and power are three of the most complex and charged topics in our society - and topics we struggle to discuss openly and honestly. This session brings together three gutsy panelists and a moderator to seize these elephants by the tusk.
Through a series of provocations and discussions, we will delve into all the ways power manifests - physical, financial, and discursive, and how different forms of power shape our world - including sextech, fintech, and venture capital - the industries in which our panelists operate.
Participants will leave with a greater understanding of the ways in which power operates in our world and the role startups can play in destabilising and dismantling incumbent power structures.

What Will VC Look Like In 2050?
TUE, OCT 17, 2:30 PM
Conference
Although Australia's first VC fund was established in 1970, venture capital didn't truly take off in Australia until the mid 90s - and even then it was a far cry from where we are now. Today, we are home to more than 70 funds, and last year alone $3.6b of capital was raised to back our region's most ambitious founders. So what's in store for the future? In this session we'll discuss the challenges, opportunities and trends that are shaping the future of VC, and dust off our crystal balls to explore what Venture Capital could look like in Australia in 2050.
