One Year Later....

It is been more than a year since this portal started following and discovering new ventures coming out of Australia across various domains. It's been an interesting journey learning about the stories of people behind these ventures and their success stories. To reflect upon what has been achieved in the last 12 months I have compiled the list of the top 5 reports and interviews published here.
