Woohoo - DL COMMS is proud to announce its PR campaigns were responsible for three of the top 10 highest grossing equity crowdfunding raises, and four of the top five highest raises from all female-identifying founder teams in Australia in 2023!
The following is from Business News Australia’s report on the 2023 year for equity crowdfunding.
Despite a 58 per cent decline in venture capital funding in Australia last year, a new industry report shows resilience for the crowd-sourced funding (CSF) sector which remained steady at $71 million as investors poured into food & beverage startups, cannabis and more female-founded businesses.
The latest CSF Yearbook 2023 prepared by Birchal shows that while the number of CSF raises declined by 11 per cent at 82, the total funding raised was down by just 2 per cent with a similar volume of participants compared to 2022.
This result was aided by Birchal's 'busiest quarter ever' at the end of 2023, including its own $2.4 million raise.

Ever dreamt of going to sleep and waking in the middle of an enchanted forest with no-one else in sight? Or settling down in a comfy king-sized bed right on a beach with the waves almost lapping your front door?
They may sound mere flights of fantasy but, today, they’re actually not. An increasing number of simple, eco-friendly cabins are popping up in remote beauty spots as pod-mania sweeps the land.
Patricia Beckett knows all about that. She and her husband recently booked a WanderPod for a two-night break on Kangaroo Island and found the experience mesmerising.

If you follow Khloe Kardashian, the ‘sporty spice’ of the bunch, you’re likely faced with clips and pictures of her intense daily workout routine on Instagram every time you open the app.
Watching the reality star tone up the very assets her family has built an empire on, it’s hard not to feel inspired. But while replicating most of Kardashian’s professional-grade home gym (and hiring a few handy full-time trainers) may be exponentially out of your budget, there’s one thing you can effortlessly get your hands (and feet) on.

NBA superstars Le Bron James and Rudy Gobert, rugby league legend Cameron Munster, and professional surfer Bethany Hamilton are just a few of the big names touting the benefits of a new health and wellness invention, built in a Gold Coast backyard.
The slant board is a simple but increasingly popular piece of equipment, designed by Queensland tradie Nathan Grant.
The idea sparked at a fitness camp, when a knee and ankle injury flared up, preventing the gym-buff from participating.

NSW has unveiled the latest weapon to keep the lights on as coal fueled power stations wear out. The new microgrid collects solar power from home rooftops that stores them in community-shared batteries that kick in during black outs.
Endeavour Energy has supplied the massive battery system that will power an entire town. Bawley Point is one of the nation’s first community microgrids. It will mean the residents there will have power even during power outages. It’s the end of a two year mission to keep the lights on and its not possible without locals whose roofs are powering the battery when it is sunny. The power was down for 11 days during the 2019 bushfires and in its aftermath, Endeavour Energy worked with the community to put solar on the roofs of more than 100 homes. It only costs about $8M and its now a blueprint for other towns like Bawley Point, which are vulnerable during major weather events.
