Apr 2014 - Present
Representing the NetStripes brand with commercial and public sector stakeholders. NetStripes is an Aussie tech start-up, transforming the way small businesses will build their digital presence forever. Through an innovative cloud based platform, small business owners can now be empowered with a big business like website and digital marketing solutions for a third of the price and within 2-4 weeks as opposed to 2-7 months as it would usually take. We believe we can help change the course of small business is Australia by helping them being fully digitally engaged. Currently only 16% of 2.1 Million small businesses are. This is a huge problem nationally and as a nation we need to move this closer to 100% so more can participate in the digital economy. While it will fuel economic growth it can importantly help resolve unemployment in Australia as small businesses that were fully digitally engaged grew faster and on average employed 2 more people. Imagine if every other small business was able to employ one more person?. This is our small effort towards resolving some big national issues towards a more prosperous nation for all.
