Tim, wasn’t the original call for the next big idea in media? Hence the link with mumbrella. The shortlist looks light on media ideas.

Hi Michael,

A fair question. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds once we get to the elevator pitches.

All the best,

Tim – Mumbrella

This sounds like a fantastic opportunity to support innovative media companies in Australia. It’s good to see Australia supporting Australian upstart businesses. Congratulations to all the finalists, especially Spondo, a company I have already invested in.

Great pitches from all the finalists. Even those who dressed like they “didn’t give a f***”!

And, of course, many thanks to whoever sponsored the mini fish and chips.
