“We’ve liked Australia for many years. Our job
is very simple. We find the world’s best
entrepreneurs. Some are in Silicon Valley but
many are in Australia”
RICH WONGWhat People Feel About Australia
“The level of sophistication in terms of the
business model, the founder and the pitch
itself is enormously developed in comparison
to the late 1990s or early 2000s”
CRAIG BLAIRWhat People Feel About Australia
CHRIS STRODEWhat People Feel About Australia
“Venture capitalists will seek you out as soon
as you're the market leader. It's good to know
you can build a successful online business
anywhere.”
DALE MCCARTHYWhat People Feel About Australia
“I hear a lot of talk from the community
blaming investors for not putting money into
the digital economy, but the reality is that, like
any economy, there has to be a virtuous circle
of money flow for it to work”
