THE #SHARETHEPLATFORM CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT GIVING BLACK, INDIGENOUS & PEOPLE OF COLOUR (BIPOC) FOUNDERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE PLATFORM OF SUCCESSFUL START-UPS IN ORDER TO TELL THEIR STORIES.

THE INTERVIEW SERIES

Below we have curated a series of interviews between some of Australia’s most successful and influential start-up entrepreneurs and some of Australia’s emerging and established BIPOC founders.

In these videos you’ll hear stories - these are not just stories of business, but stories of life. They are intended to start conversations. They are intended to build understanding. Build bridges. Empower us all.

These videos will be released over a two-week period in July & August 2020.

campaign goals

The aim of the #ShareThePlatform campaign is to start a conversation. Structural racism is prevalent in many countries around the world, including Australia. We’re here to listen to stories, and share them with the world.

We’re encouraging everyone - individuals, start-ups, corporates and Not-For-Profit organisations to participate in the campaign and join the conversation around what meaningful change looks like.

getting involved

This movement is built for both individuals and organisations to get involved with. The campaign is taking placed on LinkedIn and Instagram and will run actively through to mid-August.

The easiest way to get involved is just to share the content that we post on those platforms. You can also download our set of ‘postcards’ which gives you pre-made graphics that you can post on your social media. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #sharetheplatform

If you’re an organisation that wants to get involved then we’ve created (via our friends at Opyl) a social media pack that explains the campaign and makes it easy for you to distribute out to your team. You can download it here.
