Hi everyone, I have been lurking here for a while now, I have met a few of you at various events over the past few months and decided it was finally time to introduce myself.
I'm currently working on a startup with Matthew Keast, we are creating a web platform designed to democratise finance and improve small business access to capital. At the same time I'm studying for a Master's Degree by research in Entrepreneurship at Sydney Uni. My thesis looks at how successful entrepreneurs plan and how this differs from the typical business plan framework the government, Unis and others promote. I hope that the results of my research will cause government people and entrepreneurship lecturers to rethink whether investing 200 hours in writing a 50 pages business plan is suitable for all types of startups. Me personally - I'm almost 20-10 years old, was born in Switzerland and moved to Australia three years ago, which was one of my best decisions ever. I currently live in Manly, love building stuff, programming, designing, photography, surfing, volleyball and I started boxing last week. Thanks for having me.
