At Innovation Bay we believe the energy sector is ripe for disruption and that tech entrepreneurs will be a key driver of that change — which is why we co-hosted our first Renewable Energy Founder Dinner with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) last month.

Earlier this week we hosted another event in our Community Breakfast series. James Cameron, Partner at AirTree Ventures, was our guest moderator, and interviewed Jason Wilby, the founder of one of their portfolio startups, Huddle.

For this morning’s community breakfast we handed the host’s mic over to our friend Imogen Baxter, Head of Community at Square Peg Capital. Imogen invited Nathan Walsh, co-founder & CEO of Athena Home Loans (one of their portfolio companies) to share his story with the IB community.

Last week, we welcomed 43 venture capitalists, 12 incredible startups, and our partners to ‘Venture Downunder,’ our annual VC conference set in the beautiful and remote location in New Zealand. Our aim was to bring together venture capitalists from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, US and Europe to join us for a few days of learning, bonding and relaxing.
