According to the Australian Bureau of statics, Australia’s SMEs reportedly accounted for nearly 3/4 of the entire workforce and draw in an earning of close to 60% of all business income. In simple terms a lot of Australians financially depend on the success of their fellow countrymen and women’s entrepreneurial endeavors.
Fat Hen, an Australian headquartered crowd funding Venture Capital Company, is proud to announce our new strategic partnership with The Entourage. The Entourage is Australia’s leading private education institution for entrepreneurs, enabling businessmen and women across the country to achieve their personal and financial goals through the growth of their business.
“At Fat Hen we very much understand and appreciate that the entrepreneurial dream, for the founders and their investors, is not a simple linear process” says Mr. Rajab Karume, CMO Fat Hen Ventures “but rather a dynamic, back and forth, journey best travelled in the company of access to capital, information, knowledge and expertise”.
Investing, as part of an entrepreneur’s journey, is simply scary for most people. And a preference to directly get involved, beyond the social media like, by say the young and inexperienced is very much hampered by current available options. Fat Hen is on a mission to shake things up.
Fat Hen seeks to capture leadership in Australia’s equity crowd funding space, bridging the gap between personal and institutional sources of finance for entrepreneurs.
“A full service venture capital company powered by the crowd” explains Jeff Broun, CEO Fat Hen Ventures “With an inherently transparent corporate structure, including due diligence, to our approach”
