Our Pitching for Success workshop will give you the skills to ensure you're prepared to present your startup in its simplest yet most exciting form.

This is a FREE Bloom event. We're excited to welcome Fletcher Ehlers & Morgan Then (SLUMBERJACK) to Bloom to talk about their journey as two UWA graduates who didn't follow the norm post-university, instead pursuing their passion for music. Since breaking onto the Australian electronic music scene in 2014, SLUMBERJACK has achieved massive success. In the past year, the Perth-based duo has brought their music to new heights, turning out massive club hits like “RA”, increasing their total streams to over 40 million across platforms and placing #132 in triple j's hottest 200! Ahead of their massive headline tour, we're excited to have the boys join us to discuss how they overcame the daunting steps of following their passion, craft the skills they required to start a business and built a strong support team around them - ultimately making a successful career in a very challenging industry. Whether you're dreaming of starting something of your own, are searching for some Thursday inspiration or are just a SLUMBERJACK fan, we're confident that there will be something in this session for you! There will be an opportunity for audience Q&A at the end of the discussion. Spaces are strictly limited and we're expecting this event to sell out - secure your spot early so you don't miss out. ================================================ ABOUT BLOOM: Bloom is a community of young people creating amazing things.
