Anthill's popular Tunnel Talk series is proud to bring back...
Young Entrepreneurs' Night Out
Are you...
A young NSW entrepreneur with a desire to meet other like-minded business builders? If so, you are invited to join Anthill at our 'Young Entrepreneur's Night Out'.
The Facts...
When: Tuesday 22 June, 2010 (6pm-9pm)
Where: To be announced.
What: Meet and learn from other young business builders. Share a drink. Have a laugh. Gain insights from a panel of business builders. And most importantly of all, help us build a culture of entrepreneurship in NSW!
The Cost...
This event will cost you one dollar for every year you have lived on this planet.
Yup, attendance is priced to reflect the age of each attendee. This means that 35 year-olds will be required to pay $35 for attendance, while 18 year-olds will pay $18.
This seemed like a fair way to subsidise the cost of booze, finger food and some flights from Melbourne to Sydney. (Gotta give a little to get a little, right?)
Simply insert your age as the "Enter Discount Code" above (i.e. 29 to pay $29).
What you'll get...
Building a business at any age can be a lonely undertaking. But young entrepreneurs have it tougher than most. Our friends and parents often don't understand the complexities of running a business... or the personal stress that comes with the job.
Meet and learn from other young business builders. Share a drink. Have a laugh. Gain insights from a panel of business builders who have 'been there, done that' and created successful ventures. Benefit from the experiences of other attendees.
And most importantly of all, help us build a culture of entrepreneurship in NSW!
Our Speakers...
Like all Anthill events, we've assembled a panel of people who are 'doing' rather than 'talking'. They come from a range of backgrounds and rungs of the growth ladder - from home operations to multi-national companies. Yet despite their differences they all have one thing in common. They started young and defied the odds!
Pip Jamieson, The Loop
Pip
started her career in London working on the BRIT Awards, then as
Strategy & Development Manger for MTV Networks Australia, where she
planned and spearheaded the team that launched two new local channels in
New Zealand, MTV and Nickelodeon.Most
recently Pip was head of Marketing for MTV Networks New Zealand from
2006-2008, overseeing all areas of marketing activity.
In
2008, Pip returned to Sydney to launch
The Loop (www.theloop.com.au),
a career networking site for creative
professionals.
The venture recently raised seed investment and is
quickly cementing itself as a fantastic platform to
connect like-minded creative professionals and companies.
Antony McGregor-Dey, QM Codes
Antony
McGregor Dey, a recognised leader in the Australian mobile
industry, was recently appointed to the Victorian working committee for
MEGA (Mobile Enterprise Growth Alliance), is on the advisory board for
the State government’s Mobility Victoria industry cluster, and heads up
Mobile Monday Melbourne.
His role as founder and CEO of QM Codes has seen him create and build a business in a nascent industry.
It has involved the successful acquisition of grant funding, through state and federal agencies, and venture capital, through private angel investors. Antony has recently expanded QM Codes to the US, where he business is now headquartered in New York.
James Masini, International Man of Mystery
James Masini is
known to most Anthill readers as the twenty-something entrepreneur who
founded Hippo.
In 2007, he turned a university project into an online online business, raising capital from high-profile angels, such as Jeff and Janine Allis of Boost Juice fame.
At the time of his departure from Hippo in early 2009, the job site for 15 to 24 year-olds could proudly claim to have served over 110,000 profiled job candidates and profiled25,000 jobs.
Over the past 12-months, James has built and now
manages a digital technology consultancy from offices in Beijing, where
he employs local developers to service international projects, taking
international geo-arbitraging to a whole new level.
Marion Di Benedetto, GreenTimes
Marion Di Benedetto
wears several hats.
She is the owner of Sierra Marketing, a marketing company that focusses on customer acquisition, retention, leads generation, customer service and promotional activities, servicing clients such as M2 telecom, Select TV and Todae.
She is also Co-Founder of GreenTimes, a news website and business directory for the eco-savvy.
She is a French expatriate, living in Australia, as one of many Australian entrepreneurs with beginnings abroard. Also like many young Australian entrepreneurs, she uses her 'day job' (Sierra) as the foundation to launch new ventures that are likely to 'give something back' (GreenTimes and Breast Cancer Support).
Sebastien Eckersley-Maslin, AutoCarLog
For the past decade, Sebastien Eckersley-Maslin has spent his time balancing the demands of a Naval career, a Masters in
Engineering and running personal businesses in his scant spare time. In
2009, Eckersley-Maslin returned from active duty in Iraq with a drive to
storm the ‘front line’ of Australian business.
He is the inventor and co-owner of a patent on autonomous landing systems for military unmanned aircraft and a serial entrepreneur, with a range of small companies to his name. In May this year, he was nominated as the most inspiring engineer of the year by the Institute of Engineers Australia (IEAust)
Many Anthill readers will know of his success demonstrating publicly that it is possible to build a viable venture in seven days and on a budget of $500. In January, after just one week of blogging and building, he launched AutoCarLog, an online system to manage vehicle mileage logs. Two months later, he is securing joint ventures with multinational organisations and looking down the barrel of venture capital.
The Master of ceremonies...
James Tuckerman, Anthill Magazine

James Tuckerman is the editor and founder of Anthill Magazine. He may no longer be so 'young' but, at the age of 26, he quit a promising career in PR to launch an indepenent business magazine "with a sense of humour".
Since then, the business has evolved to become one of Australia's leading online communities for entrepreneurs and features among the Top 50 Business & Finance websites in Australia, according to Nielsen Online Ratings.
It is also home to Anthill Events (such as this one), Anthill Awards (such as 30under30) and a range of programs and tools to help business development.
He is a sought after business and media commentator and doesn't mind sharing his often controversial views. Indeed, his mouth rarely closes (see image right).

entrepreneurs
under 30, in the Australian
