The last couple of years have presented some of the hardest challenges that our community has had to face, and now with the devastation of the floods compounding matters it doesn’t feel like there is a reprieve.

We want to make sure that our friends of Sourdough and the wider community, are safe and well and doing their best in these uncertain times and to make sure that you are reaching out to friends, neighbours and loved ones as often as you can. It is never easy to ask for help but it is so important to connect and have a sense of safety.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  Many of our team are also managing difficult circumstances in their homes, as well as at the Sourdough Innovation Hub, so please be patient with us if we don’t respond immediately.

From Tweed to Lismore, from startups to existing businesses wanting to expand, we are here to help inspire, support and empower your business journey.

Sourdough is a not-for-profit organisation supporting businesses in the region to start up, skill up and scale up through our startup programs, business skills workshops, mentoring and business women’s pathways.

Sourdough was founded over ten years ago by a small group of volunteers that wanted to protect existing jobs and create new jobs in the region utilising the skills and wisdom of experienced business people to inspire a sustainable, purposeful, generous and diverse community.

Our Purpose

Through a dynamic community of business activity, programs and knowledge we aim to help transform the region and generate jobs by comprehensively supporting the startup and small business sectors.
