Hello and welcome again justicea podcast about the business of startups, where we break down the numbers and nuances behind the headlines. This is our interview show where we sit down with a guest, reflect on their work, and explain the rest.
Today, we circle the globe not by one but two Thanks interviews Rebecca Bellan, who has been in Auckland, New Zealand, for the past three years. She recently hopped across the Tasman Sea to Australia to report on the startup scene there, and returns with a temperature check on VC Down Under.
In this episode of Equity, we spoke to two Australian venture capital funds: Dan Krasnostein of Square Peg And Gabriel Munzer from the main sequence. Rebecca and our guests looked at:
- Why is early stage financing emerging in the region?
- The role of the government in developing the startup ecosystem
- Why area Deep tech startups are less worried about “tourist” investors.
- What is the form of competition and cooperation with Silicon Valley?
In addition to these conversations, Rebecca has written some in-depth stories from her time in Australia, including a look at the thriving climate tech scene and some of the people fighting to elevate women in the ecosystem. Rebecca also spoke with Canva – Australia’s favorite SaaS company – to find out how the company is embracing generative AI at its core and pursuing more B2B clients.
