The Spark Festival 2026 Exclusive Founder Stories at Tech Central Innovation Hub.
While every business is unique, many of the challenges founders face have been encountered, navigated, and overcome by others walking a similar path.
As part of Spark, or part of the festival in 2026, Investment NSW invites founders, entrepreneurs, innovators, ecosystem leaders, and founders in the making to join founder stories.
At this lunch and learn, you will hear honest reflections and practical insights from founders with many years of cumulative experience building and growing innovative companies.
And the moderator was Renate- Crollini, co-founder of Adeluna and general manager of Tech Ready Women.
Emily Pike, co-founder and CEO of Unda Tech, and David Klingberg, co-founder of ViewMotion.
Whether you're launching your first venture, leading a high-growth startup, commercializing research, or supporting innovation across the ecosystem, this offers a opportunity to hear real-life experiences of founders navigating critical decisions and unexpected hurdles and lessons that have shaped their success.
You'll also have a chance to expand your networking with- within the Tech Central community.
Uh, and there was really some, some excellent panelists and hearing their story along the journey made me reflect and I'd love to keep going.
Wait and see about w- I, I think in October will be a better time to understand what's gonna happen, but I just wanted to come on and make this podcast anyway being that there is, that it is Spark Week and there's so much going on within Sydney for startups and it's really great to see a community and an ecosystem and so much.
But yeah, maybe it's, it's great that now in Australia there is so much help and support for startups and Stone & Chalk is one of them.
So I'll wait and see how the next seven days go and into October and we'll go from there.
