Geoff McQueen was shattered when he learned the 2020 London Marathon was postponed due to coronavirus. After months of training, and a looming deadline to run a marathon before he turns 50, he decided a pandemic wouldn't stop his goal. So this Sunday - on the date the London Marathon should have taken place - Geoff will run a marathon (42km) in his backyard.

Today you’re going to hear the story of Startmate featuring the head of operations at Startmate, Michael Batko.Startmate is the leading tech accelerator in Australia and they take 10 to 15 companies and new stage founders in each cohort and help them from three to four months to get them to the next stage of their business.They look for just the most ambitious founders and then work with that talent. Startmate doesn’t necessarily specialise in a certain area or industry. Startmate just focuses on the most ambitious founders and work with them to create immense value.Let’s go back to day one, to a pub in Surry Hills where this story begins…
Some excellent yet strangely soothing peril this week as we enjoy Lovejoy’s run in with the local golf club. He’s been drafted in to value their prize possession, whilst simultaneously securing an ‘antiquities sporting’ gift for the distinguished Mr. Kashimoto who may or may not be about to become a member.Tinker gets to go to London and get pissed (and thus excellently hungover) and we delight in Peak Eric as Lovejoy fails to do any kind of risk assessment in the work place and sends him off with… a gun. What else? We get particularly excised by the old boys network as we meet some thoroughly nasty chaps on the club committee, and learn that ‘golfers do it with balls’ during an interesting discussion about mugs. It’s the podcast that keeps on giving, listener. Pol also displays some excellent knowledge of Japanese, whilst Em displays rather poorer knowledge of plumbing.The original Lovejoy episode was written by Geoff McQueen and directed by John Crome.Antique of the Week: The Annual Cup for Being The Best At Golf - in the style of Fabergé, of egg fame.

In the latest Ep of Open The Pod Bay Doors, Phaedon spoke with the brilliant Aussie entrepreneur, Geoff McQueen, co-founder of Accelo, and Executive Director of the Aussie Founder Network based in Silicon Valley. Geoff is one of those founder’s that truly knows how to grow a business. In this episode, Geoff gives us some fantastic insights into capital raising in the US, and what it takes to make it in Silicon Valley.Born and raised in Wollongong, Geoff dropped out of the University of Wollongong to focus on running his first business in 2000, a full spectrum digital agency called Internetrix. Within in this field, Geoff saw a problem around SMEs and their internal business management, and after performing lots of customer development around an idea, Accelo was born in 2009. In May 2011, Geoff was invited to exhibit at Google IO - Google's annual developers conference, and in July that same year, decided to take the plunge to move and launch Accelo in the US without any capital, and running on a little bit of revenue.From here, Geoff talked to us about how he managed to raise capital from investors in Silicon Valley and New York, built offices in SF and Denver, and grew their base team in Wollongong, plus manage the team of over 100 globally, with his three other co-founders.Geoff is also one of the founding members of the Aussie Founder Network, a community of Australian founders, investors and industry advisors, based out of Silicon Valley. Their mission is to support, build and elevate the role and impact of the Aussie tech community, globally.This is great conversation and we are thrilled to have had Geoff as our guest on the pod!
