Building a startup isn’t easy. It takes grit, perseverance, and resilience. And the truth is, it looks different for everyone. That’s why one-size-fits-all advice for founders is a recipe for disaster.
There’s no magic formula when it comes to fundraising.
There are processes and frameworks that you can focus on but ultimately your execution will be unique to your own context.
Nobody knows when market conditions will improve but everyone intuitively knows the wisdom behind the age-old adage: “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.”
Great founders continue to fundraise and great companies have always been built in tough times.
To get started with your raise, here are 3 questions you can focus on asking yourself today:

2) (to gauge investor interest) What reactions do I get from potential investors when you I talk about my startup now?
3) (to craft a strategy) How good at fundraising am I?

1,000km, sustainable, efficient , no onboard pilot: How ‘Gap Drone ’ is rewriting the rules of remote logistics
Can autonomous drones solve Australia’s “tyranny of distance”? GAP Drone CEO Liesl Haris thinks so. With the launch of ATLAS—an autonomous transport logistics aircraft system—the company is bypassing traditional infrastructure to deliver 50kg payloads over 1,000km. Dubbed the “Uber of airfreight,” GAP Drone is tackling the “too hard basket” of remote logistics, partnering with Australia Post to provide First Nations communities and regional hubs with reliable, low-cost access to medicine, food, and economic opportunity. By operating within current regulatory frameworks and utilising a “no-runway” launch model, GAP Drone is transforming air freight from an expensive luxury into a scalable utility.
