Building in a downturn with LaunchPad and J Combinator

​Join LaunchPad and J Combinator for an evening of networking and a panel discussion on building in a downturn.

​In recent years, the Australian startup and technology ecosystem has gone from strength to strength, with record rates of new company creation and levels of investment pouring in. But the sector is facing into a market downturn in 2022 as interest rates rise and public markets fall.

​Our expert panel will take a deep dive into the current market conditions and what they mean for tech startups in Australia, unpacking the threats and opportunities that companies are facing, the implications for jobs, and how companies can respond.

​We are fortunate to be hearing from a number of startup leaders who bring perspectives as both founders and investors, have operated across earlier and later stage businesses, and have seen multiple market cycles.
