Innovation Leaders Prepare Next-Gen Entrepreneurs For Success

More than 50 of international business’ most successful leaders and innovative thinkers will assemble at an event in Sydney on Thursday inducting Slingshot’s largest-ever group of handpicked mentors.

Industry experts from a diverse range of successful start-ups and corporate enterprises, including Pandora, Deliveroo, RedBalloon and UbiSoft, will gather at the special Slingshot function to prepare the next wave of entrepreneurs for business success.

Slingshot, an Australian company, provides unique and extensive world-class innovation programs by connecting corporates with small disruptive startups and entrepreneurs who are building innovative and market-changing technologies.  

Slingshot mentors, successful corporate leaders and startup entrepreneurs in their own right, inspire and challenge the next generation of innovation in Australia and around the world. Slingshot mentors – including world-renowned startup expert Ash Maurya, the Founder and CEO of LeanStack – are handpicked based on acumen, industry and personality.

Slingshot programs are unique – they are targeted programs featuring one-on-one mentorship that provide structured, deliberate frameworks that facilitate growth in mentors and mentees.

“Slingshot mentors are leaders in their fields and come from diverse backgrounds – they’re the best of the best from around the world,” Slingshot Founder Trent Bagnall says.

“Unlike other mentor programs that work around ‘cups of coffee’, Slingshot’s programs support the mentor and mentee – they bring corporates and startups together to form lasting relationships, providing leadership and expertise for ideas to flourish and businesses to thrive.”

Slingshot has already created innovation programs for some of the world’s leading brands including NRMA, HCF, Simplot and ING Direct.

 

The following business leaders and innovation experts are available for interview at Slingshot’s Mentor Induction Breakfast:

• Jane Huxley (Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand – Pandora);
• Levi Aron (Country Manager – Deliveroo);
• Ken Boundy (Chair – RedBalloon);
• Edward Fong (Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand – Ubisoft);
