Seats for the brave
Helping regional Australia meet it’s potential
An exchange of heart
Our Seats for The Brave initiative was launched off the back of NSW’s worst drought on record, supporting geographically removed and often isolated small business people the space, support and resources they need to start up and thrive.
4 years on, still reeling from drought, COVID, fires and floods, our community of regional bush founders and business people are working hard to recover.

SEATS FOR THE BRAVE
HELP SUPPORT REGIONAL COMMUNITIES BY SEEDING YOUR NEXT CROP IN OUR CO-WORKING PADDOCK.
Your sponsorship will go to funding a co-working space for one of our regional go-getters. We have identified that for some, this opportunity is the difference they need to be able to be successful in their own business.
This sponsorship will provide these regional bush founders with access to a 24/7 co-working space, including architecturally designed meeting rooms, essential tech facilities, community networking, access to invaluable professional development opportunities and be inspired by the company of other like-minded bush entrepreneurs. Our co-working hubs can be found in the heart of Dubbo, located in the Central West of NSW and as of 2022, we can also be found in Narrabri, located in Northern NSW.
Your financial commitment will support small business owners and regional communities in more ways than one. Through your sponsorship of Seats for the Brave, you are promoting economic growth and prosperity in these regional communities and changing a regional go-getter's life forever.
Through empowering, promoting and facilitating the economic inclusivity of our bush entrepreneurs we are fostering a sustainable diversification of the regional economy that will inspire regional communities across the nation.
The Exchange is a social impact organisation dedicated to seeding, irrigating and nurturing a crop of small regional businesses and bush entrepreneurs within our regional co-working hubs. By providing these individuals with room to grow, professionalism to thrive and opportunities to accelerate their success, YOU are supporting regional Australia in reaching its potential.
