A friend of mine introduced me to your group a couple of days ago. There certainly seems to be some interesting discussion going on, and more importantly some great new venture activity, which is fantastic. Economic development is underpinned by the activities of people like you, so well done on what is a dynamic and action orientated group.
Let me quickly introduce myself, and add some additional information to the mix. I am a freelance consultant based in Brisbane specialising in new venture growth and development. I also have a capital raising sponsorship with ASSOB. In addition to that I am the External Relations Manager for The Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research, Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane (ACE). I also teach some specialist entrepreneurship subjects on the QUT MBA program, where we do ensure we blend academe with the realities of business including new ventures and startups. I actively mentor and support new ventures. What I have been enjoying in the past couple of days is the discussion on financing and the other realities of starting new ventures. I love these sorts of discussions and certainly at my own site www.novateur.net, which I have recently relaunched am trying to provide some useful thoughts and anecdotes for new venture founders. Ideas for future posts are always welcomed. Additionally, ACE has some interesting material available, which will be continually added to that may be of interest. http://www.bus.qut.edu.au/research/ace/news-events/papers.jsp#report. I am always looking for interesting ventures, stories and indeed, challenges the new ventures are experiencing, so feel free to contact me if any of the information at the centre or indeed, my own activities are if interest.
