Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #217 Broadcast date: 12th December 2023 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guest: Murray Hurps, StartUps Director, University of Technology, Sydney The tech StartUp world is sometimes seen as the darling of government industry policy. Fast paced, fast growth, its an exciting world filled with hard working entrepreneurs. They tried to woo this sector by encouraging private investment, boosting  funding and creating new opportunities to rapidly grow. But how do they talk to the sector to find out what they really want? How is the sector represented and who are their advocates? Well, we have with us today one of the giants of that sector - Murray Hurps, the Director of Entrepreneurship for UTS, leading the work of the University to inspire and support technology-enabled entrepreneurs. PEOPLE - You're a giant in the startup world, involved as the Board Director of tech representative organisations, running the first university startup hub, helping new startups get their shoelaces tied... What brought you to this world and why are you so passionate about supporting them? POLICY - What do startups really need to start up and grow at that famously fast pace? What can the Government do to support them at each stage? PURPOSE -  There seems to be an announcement in every budget to support the startup ecosystem - from both state and federal government. How can that money be best spent? Is a grant system best to encourage single companies creating cutting edge innovation or support for the entire sector to create a better foundation for all? Murray Hurps is the Director of Entrepreneurship for UTS, leading the work of the University to inspire and support technology-enabled entrepreneurs. Australia's recovery needs job-ready graduates, productivity-boosting research, and new entrepreneurs spreading innovations, creating new jobs and driving our recovery. Murray's work is enabling this critical third pillar of work at UTS. Before building the largest community of student-launched startups at UTS, Murray was CEO of Fishburners, growing it from 100 desks of startup space, to 750 across Sydney, Brisbane and Shanghai, and supporting 508 startups during this time. He founded, ran, re-founded in 2023 and ran again, Startup Muster, the largest survey of Australia's startup ecosystem. He founded FUELD, Westpac's data-focused accelerator program. He's been a Director of the Australian Information Industry Association, Spark Festival and WorkVentures, all in support of Australian technology-enabled entrepreneurs. He does what he does because at 16 he founded Ad Muncher, an ad-blocking startup that grew for 14 years, to a peak of 100 million active users. He wants more Australians to understand and pursue the opportunities they have today through technology-enabled entrepreneurship, and for Australia to realise the benefits of this as well.

It's an exciting time in cleantech as global macro trends, decarbonisation ambitions and public investment transform the energy sector. Which is why it was a great opportunity to host David Roberts from the Volts Podcast and Saul Griffith from Rewiring America and Rewiring Australia in front of a live Spark Club audience at Fishburners in Sydney in August 2023. In this robust conversation, David and Saul discuss the politics and policy of clean energy the US and Australia and the scale of the public capital needed to unlock the tsunami of opportunity coming. Enjoy the podcast.

With no experience but a lot of guts and vision, Peter Davison moved to Silicon Valley and started a Venture Capital firm with a friend in 1998. They had several early successes, most famously as early investors in PayPal, in which Peter was a key advisor to Peter Thiel on business and product strategy. Since returning to Australia Peter has founded, built and sold several internet businesses, and founded Fishburners, a not-for-profit co-working space and incubator which has played a key role in the growth and development of the Australian startup ecosystem. In his conversation with Adam, Peter tells the story of how he initially was motivated to found Fishburners because he “didn't have any friends”, as well as sharing his perhaps controversial views that the now traditional VC backed startup trajectory may not be the best route for many founders.

Your idea can be grown, collaborated with, mustered, incubated, and accelerated so with no many opportunities to choose from (and pay for) the scene can appear cluttered.

How do you think the gig economy is changing the economy as a whole? Allowing more people to share what they have Tell us about your experience in the Fishburners environment?

This podcast is all about sharing the stories of the people making a difference to the Australian ecosystem. Few do more to champion and impact #startupaus then this week’s guest, Annie Parker.A coach, mentor and leader in the Australian startup community, Annie is passionate about helping founders achieve their full potential. She believes in the importance diversity, inclusion, and of paying everything forward!Annie has been delivering great results for 15 years in roles spanning digital, startup, technology & consulting. Having started her career as a management consultant back in the UK, she was quickly drawn to the world of startups and helped to set up one of world's first corporate accelerators with Telefonica's Wayra program.5 years ago she was seduced by Australia and decided to focus her energies on the local startup ecosystem, where she came to cofound Telstra’s accelerator program, Muru-D. Known for its investment and support of early stage startups, Annie and the team designed a program to give startups dedicated office space, fantastic acceleration services, and access to the experience and networking capability that Telstra can offer. The program has helped over a 115 startups and operates programs across Australia and Singapore. One of Annie’s biggest passions is Code Club Australia. In 2014, Annie realised that there was dirth of coders in the country and almost every founder had to outsource one of the most important role in the company. She took upon herself to solve this problem and founded Code Club Australia, a nationwide network of free volunteer-led after-school coding clubs for children aged 9-11. They have over 2000 clubs across Australia and over 175,000 children have learned the basics of coding, problem solving, collaboration, creativity and think like entrepreneurs.Last year Annie took over the helm as Interim CEO of Fishburners, Australia's first tech startup co-working space, helping thousands of companies start up their businesses since launching in 2011. Her devotion towards Australian Startup ecosystem caught the eye of Microsoft and Annie has just been appointed as the Global Head of Startups for Microsoft. The Microsoft Accelerator works with 647 companies globally which have raised $US3 billion in funding, and will soon be bringing their Scale Up program to Sydney, to help companies scale and  make a global impact.This is a wonderful conversation between Ian and Annie where they look back at some of the amazing work Annie has done for #startupaus and peek into the next big problems she’ll be taking on. Go Annie!

Hot DesQ is a program run by the government of Queensland in Australia through its Advance Queensland initiative to bring startups from around the world to Queensland and get them engaged with the local startup community. Through the program, startups receive $50,000-$100,000 in funding plus space at a coworking site in Queensland of their choice for six months. In return, startups agree to participate in local startup activities and build connections with companies in Queensland, while passing along some of their experience in growing a startup and building startup communities. This week we talk to Murray Love, CEO of Waterloo-based Ark Paradigm—one of three Canadian startups that have been accepted into the Hot DesQ program over its first two rounds. He is currently working out of the Fishburners coworking space in Brisbane. We also talk to Paul Martyn, the Deputy Director-General of Strategy and Innovation with the Queensland Department of Science, Information Technology and Innovation. He talks about what they're looking to achieve with the program and how it runs, including the "network points" startups earn by participating in the Queensland startup community.

Meet this week's awesome studentpreneur: Giorgio Doueihi, 19 y.o., psychology student at Sydney University and co-founder at Fluid Education in Australia. Wrap up: We all had got our school pushing new systems or apps on us that no one used but what did we do about? Giorgio decided at 16 to build his on app, that would meet his own requirements. He had self-taught coding at 13 by going on online forum, posting problems online.He found out that other students had the same requirements and did not like the school app. The school realised that the students were more engaged  with Giorgio app than the one they had purchased, so they decided to adopt Giorgio's app and even paid him! It's a couple of years later that Giorgio and his co-funder kickstarted the business by being part of the Sydney Incubate accelerator program. He then went on top pitch at other programs to get in, such as Fishburners and Muru-D   Book and Podcast -Book: Better habits - Podcast: 'How to start a startups' by Ycombinator.  U2U (University to support You): -Be more open minded about extension on work. -Funding entrepreneurs at Uni Quotes:  - 'You are never too young to start a company or have an idea. I started when I was 16.' - 'Try to find problem in your own life you can try to solve because you have more expertise' - 'Coding is not that hard, set aside a couple of hours, go online and start small' Links: Twitter: @giorgiodoueihi Facebook: Facebook.com/fluideducation LinkedIn: Giorgio

Meet this week's awesome studentpreneur: Matthew Childs, 22 y.o., undergraduate Business  and Civil Engineer student at the University of Technology Sydney and entrepreneur at Wine Stash in Australia. Wrap up: Matthew started on eBay in High School with books, making 700% profit margin sometimes and learning how to handle customer complaints. He leveraged all these good feedbacks and reviews when launching Wine Stash. He saw an opportunity while working in his family's bottle shop. Customers were asking for wine racks and they couldn't find any at a good price. After careful research, he took a risk and ordered a full container of wine racks! He moved on to becoming a part-time student and then put Uni on hold for a semester to try to automate his business. Matthew joined his university co-sharing space, the Hatchery. That got him introduced to Fishburners, the largest co-sharing space in Australia. A lot of people have told him that he should get a mentor, but he hasn't found one yet. If you know his ideal mentor, contact Matthew.   Quotes: - 'On eBay sell the hardcover books or books that look relatively new, sell with free shipping at fixed price.' - 'I went through a lot of suppliers on Ali Baba until I found the right one.' - 'On eBay people don't look for accounts but for great product pictures.' - 'Now I can easily justify the big expense of having professional.' - 'When I bought my first container with my own money a lot of people called me crazy!' - 'I learned to accept fate and move on when things didn't work out, I try to be lean.' - 'It's finding and targetting that little niche that no one thought of that makes you money.' - 'Most of the people at Fishburners (co-sharing space) are surprised that I am still studying!' - 'You have got to accept failure and go on.' - 'There are a lot of risks but the risks equal the rewards.'   Tips: - Use Fiverr.com to get good photoshops at the beginning of your business - Do your market research on what sells and doesn't sell on eBay by using the "sold" option in the filter.   U2U (Managing Uni and the Business): - I went part time and later on deferred one semester to focus on the business. - I learned a lot in my Business and Civil Engineering for my business, especially the process of learning information. Blogs and websites: - Entrepreneur.com - Startupsmart.com.au   U2U (Uni to support you): - 'The Hatchery (co-sharing space at UTS) is  a good start but a lot more can be done.' - We need to connect students from different faculties a lot better: students with ideas, students with coding skills,... - First identify students with ideas and then  help them to develop their ideas.   Links: - Wine Stash: WineStash.com.au - The Hatchery at UTS - Fishburners  - LinkedIn: Matthew   If you have what it takes you can apply to share your story on air. CLICK HERE
