At LUNA, one of our reasons for being is to support the growth, longevity and success of our ecosystem, and we are committed to this through our services and educational initiatives. One of those educational initiatives is our amazing partnership with the Entrepreneurship Portfolio @ Monash University which allows us the absolute privilege of being able to support the next generation of entrepreneurs and investors, particularly via the two units that we teach: "Venture Capital and the Startup Ecosystem" and "Startup fundamentals: From setting up to securing investment". Through the innovation and support of David Gilbert and the Entrepreneurship Portfolio team, we've been able to reimagine the way we teach our units, which is quite the step change from when a lot of us attended university! A big driver of this is aligning learning to the needs of the ecosystem, and bringing in expert industry guests to bring the theory to life and to help students make real-world connections. This has supported some incredible pathways into VC and the ecosystem for some, as well as positively impacting students' journeys in this formative time of life. We could not do this without the incredible support of the ecosystem and the guests that so generously help us and lend their time to come to speak with the students on campus. Thank you so much for joining us over the years, we are so grateful for your support: 🤝 Paul Naphtali of Rampersand 🤝 Justin Greenstein and Ricky Ferreira of 1835i 🤝 Joey Moshinsky of Tutero 🤝 Katarina Throssell of Giant Leap 🤝 Jonathon Cronin of Virescent Ventures 🤝 Michael Quinn of BlueScopeX 🤝 T Guthrie of WhyHive 🤝 Jo Lanyon of Gravel Road Ventures 🤝 Jimmy Zhong of Syncio 🤝 Dominic Goldsworthy of Wallaby Water 🤝 Rebecca Rozencwajg in her time at LaunchVic Thank you all, and here's to many more impactful sessions to come 🎓 Ronen Heine Josh Sharma Ashleigh Camm David Gilbert Dr Gene Shill Anh Nguyen, PhD.
