22.01.2022 The Startup Redlands Pitch night event scheduled for Wednesday the 18th of March is cancelled. While of course we fall well under the ‘500 people’ limit the rea...lity is that we had a much lower than usual number of pre-registered attendees. Given that and the overall current circumstances, cancelling just seems like the right thing to do. We will aim to kick of Startup Redlands again as soon as the current COVID-19 crisis is past. In the meantime, stay safe, keep a lookout for those who are most at risk and most of all, keep smiling! #startupredlands

22.01.2022 Startup Redlands will be back on the radio this coming Monday (6th) from 7pm to 10pm. In a slight change to our usual focus on Startups, we will be looking more... broadly at the impact of the COVID-19 emergency on our local business community and exploring ideas and inspiration to keep our Redlands business community thriving. We will be joined (over the phone, to keep our social distancing!) by a fantastic selection of guests, each of whom will be able to offer their own unique take on the current situation. Rodney Winkleman, co owner of Elysium Restaurant & Bar will be sharing his ‘Entrepreneurs Journey' story and offering some thoughts for those in the hospitality sector. Our very own local ‘shark’ and former QLD Chief Entrepreneur Steve Baxter will be offering his thoughts and ideas. We will also have Warren Maris of Magnus Business Advisers and Accountants to give us some specific info on the government support programs available. Mark Jones of Your Digital Solution will be looking at things from the marketing perspective and what you need to be doing now to make sure it’s only the COVID-19 curve that gets flattened, not your business curve! Local Innovation ecosystem expert Tony Wheeler will be telling us about some slightly different COVID-19 response projects that he has under way. Our featured local startup will be Way We Do, co-founder Jacqui Jones will be telling us about their experience so far and how, for some, the COVID-19 cloud may come with a silver lining. There is a lot to cover and much to discuss, join co-hosts John Burkett from Startup Redlands and Sharyn Doolan of Bay FM 100.3, from 7pm on Monday night.
