Our mission is Fintech.
We believe Australia’s fintech founders can compete on a global scale. But they can’t do it alone — they need the right talent. Since 2016, we've placed 200+ senior operators who've helped turn startups into billion dollar unicorns.
Our mission doesn’t end at finding great talent. We created Fintech Chatter podcast, amplifying Australian fintechs to a global audience.
We advise founders, industry bodies and government on talent, org design, rem structures, visa pathways and skills shortages.
During COVID, we created Fintech Talent Market, a platform connecting job seekers to fintechs - no fees.
We're committed to serving the ecosystem first. Everything else follows.
