What can be done to bridge the gap between regional startups and angel investors?
Elisha sits down with Sam Almaliki, a strategic business leader, board director and expert advisor for early-stage businesses. From overseeing the growth of Settle Easy to securing over $100 million in revenue at Acusensus, Sam's journey is nothing short of inspiring.
With a successful track record across multiple industry sectors, he has a unique combination of skills in strategic planning, fundraising, commercialisation, operational execution and relationship building.
But what truly stands out is his passion as the Founder & Facilitator of the Regional Angel Investor Network (RAIN) and his commitment to changing lives, driving prosperity, and delivering societal benefit through startups.
Born in Iraq, Sam came to Australia as an eight year old refugee, and spent eight months in the Villawood detention centre, learning English and then acting an an interpreter to other refugees.
Dive in as they discuss the challenges faced by startups and the role of angel investors.
