– short term through to long term air freight information relevant to the region, (tonnages, timing and how to secure)

As stated above, the cost of this program is $990/startup however AdvanceQLD has agreed to sponsor 130 startups and scaleups to go through these programs, meaning that the course is free for you.
To make it even better, AWS has agreed to offer $5,000 worth of AWS credits to startups or scaleups who haven’t received any other credits from AWS previously. So, hopefully this email is worth $6,000 to you!

BDO have just completed cohort #1, where we had 52 startup founders go through the first two programs.
Here’s what was learnt:
By the numbers:

The participants in the Runway Extender Program rated the program a 9.8/10 for overall experience, with founders averaging +3 to 6 months increase in projected runway from the start to the end of the course,
The participants in the Start to Scale Program rated the program a 9.4/10 for overall experience, with founders reporting a significant increase in projected growth (employees/revenue/investment) from the start to the end of the course,

From the founders:
“This program (Runway Extender) has been an absolute game changer for me. Thank you BDO, Advance Queensland and OQCE for sponsoring!”
“The Runway Extender Program was more than just 2 days helping us manage our cash flow – it was an education for a more successful life in business. I feel significantly more confidence and in control of my finances, and better prepared for investment and scale. Thank you for the excellent initiative and a tool that I will continue to use in the future.”
“The (Start to Scale) program was excellent – the financial tool is amazing. The presenters are world class and experts in their fields, but also really easy to relate to. The program has given me realistic insight to where we are at and what we need to do moving forward to scale successfully. Exactly what I needed right now – thank you, thank you, thank you!”
