Company writes risk analytics software for fund managers. Development team in Queensland, marketing in the UK. Clients in London, Zurich, Canada, expecting 100% growth in revenue by end of this year. Almost entirely self-funded (I've had investors before, life is easier without). I travel 4-6 times a year to the UK from Brisbane - fortunately have learned the tricks to sleeping in an economy seat.

Interested in hearing other Australian experiences. For instance, Westpac Reinventure were started to invest in Australian fintech, but when I contacted them they said they wanted companies with a focus on the Australian market - which is crazy, in our field we have to go world-wide right from the start.
