Our New Programs.

I have wonderful, inspiring and supportive mentors who couldn’t be more helpful and interested in my new business. They are available to help me at any time – all I have to do is ask and nothing is a problem. I have learnt so much in such a short space of time and that is helping me enormously with the planning and set up of my business - so much so that launch day is coming quicker than I expected!

Our Investor & Advisor.

Steve Baxter's success story is an inspiring example of how determination and hard work can lead to success in the world of entrepreneurship. From his humble beginnings in the military, Baxter went on to start and successfully exit several small businesses in the communications industry.

In 2001, he co-founded PIPE Networks, which grew into one of Australia's largest broadband networks. The company was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2005, and in 2010, was acquired for $373 million. This exit marked a significant milestone in Baxter's career and cemented his position as one of Australia's most successful entrepreneurs.

Baxter's entrepreneurial expertise has also extended to his work as an investor on Channel Ten’s Shark Tank. His ability to identify promising business ideas and provide support and investment has helped many entrepreneurs achieve success. Despite his achievements, Baxter remains humble and committed to supporting all Australians!
