Plugg connects entrepreneurs, investors, and experts to turn ideas into successful businesses. There is currently a disconnection between innovators with ideas and investors with capital, resulting in missed opportunities. Plugg addresses this with programs to guide entrepreneurs in effectively communicating their ideas and outcomes to attract investors and build their businesses. Their intensive STARThere program prepares innovators to raise capital and provides advisors to help create presentation materials to engage investors.

3. Business owners and innovators have the ideas
investors have the capital.
Advisors and experts have the skills and know how.
This has always been the case but the industry is
fragmented.

4. There is an astonishing failure rate of ideas getting to
capital and successfully commercialized.
Although there are dozens of incubators, advisory
services, training in entrepreneurship services, and
networking events, the industry is still disjointed.

5. Missed connections …. missed opportunities
When projects and money do not connect…
…business, export and employment opportunities are missed
and Australia’s GDP more dependent on mining output.
…then our opportunity to create real, positive change in
Australia and the world for future generations … is missed.

11. Many business builders and start-ups seldom
communicate the outcome or reward.
This makes it more difficult for the idea to take off or
their existing business to expand.
That is unfortunate because a lot more
good ideas would happen and businesses could expand if
only more of us knew ....
