Ariel Community, a startup with a resolute mission of bridging the gap between people with disability and Australian businesses, recently made waves at the 'Taste of the Shark Tank' roadshow event organised by Hunter Angels Ltd. The event was a part of the Hunter Innovation Festival, showcasing innovation in the Hunter region.
Held on the 18th of October, 'A Taste of the Shark Tank' brought together entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators for an evening of high-stakes pitches. Ariel Community's co-founder Jordan Freeman stepped onto the stage, marking a remarkable milestone in the organisation's journey.
For Ariel Community, this event was more than just a pitch opportunity; it was a chance to share their vision and commitment to inclusivity with a broader audience. Presenting in front of a packed audience was a thrilling experience, laced with just the right amount of nervous excitement. The evening marked a significant debut in the world of investment pitches, signifying Ariel Community's growth and ambition.
However, Ariel Community was not alone in this endeavour. Sharing the spotlight were two exceptional pitch teams, Ihydrate Pty Ltd and RAM Manufacturing, whose performances left a lasting impression on the audience. Ryan Muir and Sam Osborne represented RAM Manufacturing, while Lisa Winn showcased the strengths of Ihydrate Pty Ltd. Their presence underscored the depth of talent and innovation flourishing within the I2N at The University of Newcastle.
Jordan Freeman expressed immense gratitude to key players who made this opportunity possible. Hunter Angels Ltd, the driving force behind the event, played a pivotal role in connecting innovators with investors. The Hunter Innovation Festival provided a platform for the region's creative minds to shine, while I2N at The University of Newcastle offered invaluable support and resources throughout the journey.
The event left Ariel Community inspired and determined about its future. As the startup continues to forge ahead in its mission to foster inclusivity, events like 'A Taste of the Shark Tank' serve as powerful reminders of the community's support and belief in their cause.
Ariel Community's presence at this event serves as a testament to their commitment to creating a more inclusive future for all, not only through their innovative initiatives but also by actively engaging with the broader community. As they move forward, Ariel Community remains dedicated to bridging the gap between people with disabilities and businesses, one impactful step at a time.
