I bet you have a cracking business idea. Everyone does, right?
It’s that great idea you had while waiting for the bus. It’s jotted down on the back of a coaster. It’s saved in the notes section of your phone. It’s a constant work in progress or it’s only just getting started. No matter what stage your idea is at, we’re sure you’ve felt that fire in your belly to start something big.
Maybe you need a little kick start to take your idea to the next level? Read on if you’ve got that idea.
Do you have an idea like Patch’d Medical who use AI to provide predictive healthcare data to doctors via a vital sign monitoring patch on patients? Is it more like Rosemark Water Tanks that make water tanks more accessible and appealing with their range of water tank furniture? Or perhaps it’s like Air Buddy which provide divers with the world’s smallest and lightest equipment like their patented tankless technology?
These three ideas have all previously won a St.George Kick Start grant in partnership with TEDxSydney. This year, St.George will again be giving away $100,000 in grants to help give your idea a helpful Kick Start.
