Founder, investor

I’m interested in all things tech, marketing and finance. I love exploring opportunities, doing deals and feeling that jolt of excitement when you see a new experiment that might just work 

I enjoy working alongside founders and their teams to accelerate success, building financial security by creating and realising life-changing value. I also like sharing ideas, resources and tools I’m inspired by and seeing them put to good use.

I lead No Brand, a private investment company investing thematically in The Code Age. I also work directly with founders, as a co-founder of FounderCo, helping them create and realise value over time, and as a co-founder of Clear Value, helping them prepare for and manage a first-class exit.

I’ve had the privilege of investing, advising or being on the board of a number of great companies, including: AuthSignal, Design.com, Factory, Hipages, HotDoc (exited), Ignition, Kami (exited), Morse Micro, Mwave (exited), Myriota, Nomad Atomics, Pearler, Primary, Reejig and Trademark Vision (exited).

Previously I founded iMega (online media company with 30m+ monthly visitors, acquired by Enero Group), OMG: Online Marketing Group (30,000+ websites, Australia’s largest website network, acquired by Fairfax Media) and Spring.me (6m+ users, social network for making friends, acquired by Match). I then spent time as a founding partner of Right Click Capital, focussed on venture capital investments in startups and as a founding partner at Right Click Partners (M&A advisory firm for tech companies in APAC).
