About Us
The role of Lighthouse is to provide a wide range of business programs to attract individuals representing the spectrum of industries and services, including arts and design. As a venture demonstrates its potential, Lighthouse will offer more targeted, higher-value and expert level of programs, advice and consultancy that leverages its established links into Canberra’s innovation ecosystem. This highly flexible and adaptive business model reflects the innovative nature of the organisation’s target market. Lighthouse will deliver a three-tiered services model as follows:
- Ideas/Attraction – targeting the idea and concept stage where entrepreneurs will be assisted with skills for market research and quantification and technical validation.
- Innovation/Formulation – targeting business creation and governance, business and marketing plan development, IP strategy, funding strategies and securing initial reference customers.
- Enterprise/Implementation – targeting broader business needs such as new business development, building the executive team, expanding the Board of Directors, refining market access and customer acquisition, seeking equity finance and developing exit strategies. These services will be conducted through a model ranging from free and at-cost events, seminars and workshops and referral to existing programs, to fee-for-service activities and longer-term service contracts. Lighthouse's founding Sponsors include the ACT Government and Epicorp Limited.
