Welcome to episode 52 of Open The Pod Bay Doors. This week we dive into career and experience of Michelle Deaker, Managing Parter at OneVentures. The firm has $330M in funds under management. Michelle serves on the investment committee of OneVentures three main Funds, leads the technology practice within the firm and is responsible for investor relations managing the supervisory boards of OneVentures funds.As well as being a VC, Michelle is also a scientist who double majored in Physics and Chemistry. Michelle has always had a passion for science, holding a Bachelor of Science (Honours 1st class), Master of Science a PhD (Applied Science), and her first role was in mineral physics at CSIRO. For Michelle, science teaches you how to learn.In the late nineties Michelle built an e-commerce store called Giftvouchers.com, which she started by owning every gift voucher domain name before turning it into one of the first Australian Fintech companies. Michelle raised $6.5M from HNW's to fund the venture, as they pivoted to B2B to manage 700M retailer gift cards across Australia. They sold the business in 2005 which was then acquired by a publicly listed UK company.Michelle spent the next year travelling back and forth to the UK and it was hear she got her first taste of angel investing, with UK business MyPay. This would lead her to launch the venture firm, OneVentures in 2006, a time when raising a fund was almost impossible. The firm has invested in 17 companies; recent investments include a nanopatch company, Vaxxas, that could be a game changer as it replaces needles for vaccinations and Smart Sparrow, which allows for adaptive lessons and rich media. It is now used by more than 200 institutions and has created hundreds of jobs. They’ve also currently achieved 3 exits with a couple more coming through in the pipeline.OneVentures is currently raising a $100m for Australia’s first venture debt fund and this year, will complete about 5 deals averaging a check size of $5-10m.Michelle is a trailblazer, being the first female founder of a venture fund in Australia, in fact according to Larry Marshall (CSIRO) she was at one point the only female founding venture partner in the southern hemisphere! Thankfully more women are entering the VC community. We really enjoyed our conversation with Michelle, one of Australia's great tech pioneers.

From the ASU + GSV Summit, this special edition of To A Degree explores innovation, equity, and excellence in higher education with Javier Miyares, president of the University of Maryland University College, Ann Kirschner, University Professor at The City University of New York, Dror Ben-Naim, founder and CEO of Smart Sparrow, a learning analytics company, and Michael Moe, Chairman and CEO of GSV Capital and GSV Asset Management.

Christopher and Allan interview the co-founder of Scribble Post, Paul Berkovic! Paul is a growth junkie. With Bachelor’s degrees in Engineering (hons) and Computer Science, a 15-year career in IT (hardware, software, and services) and a passion for sales and marketing, he was destined for the perils and excitement of tech startup life. Paul started his career at computer manufacturer Dell as a technical sales rep, before moving quickly into brand marketing. He founded growth agency Greenfield Avenue where he pioneered a new way to think about outsourced sales and marketing services. Paul’s first foray into tech startups was with education technology startup Smart Sparrow where he acted as VP Sales & Marketing during a $10mil Series B capital raise and $5mil grant win with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Paul’s career-long pursuit for the perfect productivity solution came to an end after meeting ScribblePost founder Alon Novy. From power-user to Co-Founder, Paul is now ScribblePost’s Chief Marketing Officer. On a mission to solve many of today’s work-management challenges; including the need to use way too many tools, inbox overload, and the underwhelming performance of existing productivity tools; Alon, Paul and the ScribblePost team are building the world’s first Productivity Network. It’s a single place to capture, manage and share all work related information including notes, tasks, projects and emails.​ Check out and sign-up for Scribble Post below: http://www.scribblepost.com/ Stay tuned in for more awesome guests on Think Bold, Be Bold!
