Episode Synopsis

THE GUEST
Shark Tank Shark Steve Baxter has had incredible success as a founder and has since transitioned to starting and running one of the top investment funds in Australia. Outside of the fame, the success, and the 1000’s pitches, Steve also ran Australia’s top accelerator, River City Labs. In 2017, I went through that accelerator, which is why we survived and grew as a business. I will always have a lot of love for what Steve has been able to do for the startup community.
But, to give some details:

Steve started his first business when he was 23

Steve then started a business called PIPE Networks, which he sold eight years later for $373m

Steve now runs the investment company TEN13 


Steve is incredibly passionate about the startup ecosystem and has made one of the most significant impacts on the Australian ecosystem out of anyone in the country.
