Australia's first investment fund focused on funding and mentoring student-led ventures.

I co-host a radio show about entrepreneurship, in particularly to encourage young people to start up their own companies or organisations. Each week, we interview a different young entrepreneur to share their story and their challenges with starting up enterprises at such an early age.In season 1, we were called, "It's Business Time". Now in our second season, we have renamed ourselves to "Screw it, just do it!".

Nudge is an automated SMS and phone call reminder service for patients taking prescription medication. The service is sold in the pharmacy alongside the medication purchase. I created this business together with two of my university colleagues, initially as an entry in the Melbourne University Entrepreneurs Challenge, in which we won the undergraduates section among a field of 15 entries. We developed the software and got it up and running as a trial in five Melbourne pharmacies across various demographics - Camberwell, Moonee Ponds, Parkville, Caulfield and Cranbourne. Unfortunately, after trying various different ways to market and sell the service to end users at the pharmacy, we weren't able to get enough interest to make the business viable and closed about a year after the system went live.
