Tech23 was phenomenal and really helped with media, social proof and credibility. Tech23 really helps put the AU start-up scene on the map…Tech23 2012 finalist
Ian Buddery
Chairman, Maestrano
Congratulations and yet another fantastic Tech23 – in my opinion the best tech startup event in Australia… What you do is so important for Australia, please don’t ever stop!Attendee, 2015
Andrew Stead
Director New Product Development, IAG Customer Labs
Thanks for organising another great event. A good mix of companies, the crowd is always excellent – lots of 5min catchups that would take months to organise otherwise.Industry Leader 2015
Daniel Petre
Partner, Airtree Ventures
Thanks for putting on another outstanding event this year. I thought the calibre of the companies presenting has definitely increased over the last couple of years and (as a father of 3 daughters) I am so pleased to see so many women now both pitching and judging.Industry leader 2011, 2014 & 2015
Leni Mayo
Investor, Entrepreneur & Startup VIC Board Member
I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Not only were the pitching teams great but meeting some old friends and people whom I know by reputation was just a treat!Industry Leader 2014
Andrew Corbett-Jones
Head, Tyro Fintech Hub
Tech23 is my favourite conference, and it just gets better each year. And I’m not the only one saying that.Attendee, 2015
Bill Bartee
Founding Partner, Southern Cross Ventures
…Awesome event! Well done, congratulations and woo-hoo! As I consistently say, you guys put on THE BEST events BY FAR and you did it again this year! I loved it and I think everyone else did too. There was a great mix of people and it was very effective! Keep going and please count me in next year! Let me know how I can support/help! Happy to do so in any way! Industry Leader 2009-2013
Kate Harrison Brennan
Founder, Global & Smart
Heartfelt thanks for the opportunity to be part of Tech23. High on creativity, low on arrogance, that culture must come from each of you. An opportunity to learn so much, share ideas, and talk to all sorts of different people, I’m so grateful for the opportunity. I can see why companies in the 23 want to give back to build the community in subsequent years. I’m hooked. Huge thanks!Tech23 2014 finalist
Todd Forest
Managing Director, NAB Ventures
You’ve done such a great job organising Tech23 over the years, and supporting innovation in Australia. Now I’ve been on both sides of the forum – as an industry leader and now a startup CEO (I actually enjoy the latter!). Thanks again for having us participate yesterday and being so generous of your time to create and organise the event. All of Australia Startup community should thank you for it!!Industry Leader 2011 & Tech23 2014 finalist
