The KPMG High Growth Ventures team had an incredible time volunteering with Rita Yates at the SXSW Sydney pitch event last week, helping with on-the-ground support to ensure the event ran smoothly.     Across the two days, we heard truly inspiring pitches and gained a deeper understanding of the dedication of Australian founders. The breadth of innovations, spanning from solutions such as novel skin cancer screening tech to AI consumer and brand co-creation opportunities underscored the significant impact that these startups are poised to make on a global scale.    A massive congratulations to winner DermR Health and all the founders presenting! We're thrilled to have been a part of this experience, a big thank you to Rita for the amazing opportunity – looking forward to 2025 already. 🚀✨ #KPMGHighGrowthVentures #SXSW #Startups #Innovation #Entrepreneurship
