2015 – 2019       Invested in the re-development of Australia’s #1 and the world’s first “crowd sourced equity funding” (CSEF) platform (ASSOB).  Australia was deregulating, enabling the sale of equities to retail (consumer) investors on a more “buyer beware” basis as had the UK, USA and other major markets. (Early industry example  : Pebble Watch)  The intention was to make “crowd funding” populist, attracting millions of investors to entrepreneurship, innovation and the funding of tech powered SMEs of the future. Invested as follows:
