About this event
What should you be doing to future proof your business or company in preparation for the next wave of disruptive and innovative tech?
In this fireside chat event Aaron Birkby, CEO of Startup Catalyst, will be joined by guest speakers sharing some of the innovative technology and business models they have seen, that are much closer than you may believe. They will further discuss how to think more like a startup, the future of work and how to make the most out of emerging disruptive tech in the market.
Aaron Birkby is a tech entrepreneur, having successfully built and exited several startups since the age of sixteen. Aaron joined Startup Catalyst in 2016 after it was founded by Shark Tank investor, Steve Baxter, to expose Australia's technical talent to the tsunami of innovation that is happening overseas. Today, Startup Catalyst delivers 9 missions a year to global startup hotspots like Silicon Valley, London, Tel Aviv, and Hong Kong.
In 2017, Andrew attended the London Tech Week while on a Startup Catalyst Mission as the founder of 3wks. Since then 3wks has been acquired by GrowthOps, an ASX-listed growth services company focused on delivering double-digit uplifts in the market value of both established brands and startups.
