Our principals and wider network have had a formative role in the establishment of the tech startup ecosystem in Australia and links to SE Asia.
Most of this work is entirely volunteer. Examples include –
- Founding SydStart the largest tech startup conference (now StartCon)
- Being founding sponsor of The Start Society (StartSoc) the only national grassroots independent membership based industry body for tech startups
- Uniquely shaping or assisting seed/establish a range of other accelerators, incubators, co-working spaces, hack-a-thons, meet ups, specialist groups, educational initiatives and policy shaping. Most of these are the first of their kind and/or the largest.
We are deeply proud of our formational contribution to the tech startup ecosystem in Australia and regionally. It is not an obligation or a task, it is simply who we are and what we do.
We don’t want to humble brag but we have made a real difference in less than a decade and we are just getting started!
