The Runway Masterclass: Scaling Australian Startups

Extend your runway without losing quality. How Founders & CTOs leverage Vietnam’s tech talent for growth and capital efficient development.

ISB Vietnam is proud to present 'The Runway Masterclass: Scaling Australian Startups'.

In 2026, Australian startups are facing several key challenges:

• Funding: Investors are becoming more conservative, demanding higher revenue multiples & applying intense scruitiny to operational efficiency.
• Talent: Persistant talent & suitability gaps are biting, with startups struggling to find mid-senior technical talent who can execute AI transitions and handle the needs of early stage growth. And where it can be found locally - it's expensive.
• Overheads: Startups are squeezed between higher costs, increasing interest rates, and regulatory burdens.

In this webinar presentation, ISB Vietnam will explore:

• The Runway Challenge: Why are Australian Startups burning runway?
• De-Risking Innovation: Examining models that enable companies to not just preserve capital, but also hit milestones, manage technical debt, and shed risk.
• Investor-Grade Quality: Why human oversight from fluent PMs is the only way to ensure AI-driven development stays "investor-grade".
• The AI Multiplier: How to use cross-border teams to execute AI transitions and feature additions that may be cost-prohibitive in Australia.
• The ‘Nearshoring’ Edge: Leveraging the Vietnam/Australia time zone for real-time development cycles.
