WHAT PEOPLE FEEL ABOUTAUSTRALIA

“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”
