Cash-flow is the lifeblood of a start-up. Time is money.  And with traditional banks not fully understanding the new wave of start-up business requirements, it can often take too long to acquire capital - costing the business precious time and opportunity.

In this episode of Tank Stream Speaks, Brad Delamare is joined by Peita Piper, CEO from Avenue Bank, the digital bank designed for small businesses. Brad talks to Peita about the importance of finding a bank that fits within your start-up journey and understands where you are today, and your potential for the future. They talk about why more banks aren't innovating banking products at the speed of the Australian start-up industry, and discuss how Avenue Bank is re-imagining banking products and providing businesses with the much needed capital needed to grow.

Peita Pier is the CEO of Avenue Bank. She is a creator of digital products and businesses and has 25 years’ experience in building, launching and maturing start-ups across the Australian banking and commodity industry sectors. Prior to Avenue Bank, Peita was a founding member of UBank, joining at conception and was instrumental in defining the UBank strategy, operating model, governance structure and executing the delivery of these strategic plans.

Avenue Bank is on a mission to exceed the business banking standards so great Australian businesses no longer have to do things on their own. Learn more about how Avenue Bank can help you at www.avenuebank.com.au

The pre-seed stage can be the hardest in the startup journey. A successful pre-seed funding round can be the difference between asking the right questions, and having the right outlook before heading into conversations.

In this episode of Tank Stream Speaks, Brad is joined by Bede Moore, the Managing Partner, APAC of Antler - the investor backing the world's most driven founders from day zero to greatness. Brad talks to Bede about the challenges new founders face when finding their first investors - pre-seed or finding a co-founder. Listen as Bede talks about the most crucial question to ask and the things to consider when making the all-important decision on who you align with in the early stages of your startup. 

Bede brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in starting and scaling technology-led digital businesses. Before Antler, Bede was the CEO of Sydney's peak technology industry body, TechSydney, and prior to this, he was the co-founder and managing director of Indonesia's largest e-commerce site, Lazada, which Alibaba acquired in 2017 for US$3.5 billion.

Since 2018, they have helped create and invested in more than 600 startups across a wide range of industries and technologies, with the goal of backing more than 6,000 by 2030. Applications to join Antler Australia in May are now open. So if you, or someone you know, is looking for a co-founder, ready to build a business and secure funding from Australia's only truly global VC. Apply today!
