April's drinks are a little bit special.

Firstly, they'll be on Tuesday, not Thursday. That's so we can accommodate our special guests - Atlanta Daniel and Ilya Frolov from Oxygen Ventures!

To quote Oxygen's own website:

"We partner with original thinkers to build disruptive enterprises, supporting startups with focused business resources.

We’re business builders, not fat cat investors. Entrepreneurial hands on know-how, not theoretical gurus. We work with innovators to build globally scalable enterprises that turn established industries on their heads.

Our team’s filled to bursting with digital nous, and we use it to support startups. Ventures draw on our knowledge and experience, getting expert advice on every aspect of growth: from design, marketing and development, to finance and legal assistance."

Oxygen are visiting Tasmania to talk about their pitching competition The Big Pitch. There's $5 million in funding up for grabs, and Hobart is the first city on their national tour! They would like to meet with the local startup community to talk about The Big Pitch and other ways Oxygen can be involved in Tasmania.

(If you're interesting in pitching, register ASAP on The Big Pitch website).

So please join us at a special alternative venue, Westend Pumphouse on Murray Street, at 5pm on Tuesday, 28th April. We've booked for 20 people, so RSVP early so we can try and extend the booking if we need to. We've also booked for all 20 people to have dinner - so if you want to come along but won't be eating, RSVP and then email , telling me you won't be dining (but you should be, the food is great!).

There's no charge to attend, but you'll need to pay for what you eat and drink.

See you then!
