Startup&Angels, an entrepreneur podcast

In this episode about the talent shortage issue in Australia, Leo is interviewing Craig Goldblatt, Vice President of Partners & Alliances for Globalization Partners business in Asia. Is Australia's talent shortage and skills gap issue real? What is the Australian government doing to address the problem? And what are some solutions for Australian businesses to leverage? Facing a shrinking talent pool and widening skills gap, Australian companies seem to be struggling to hire locally. A shrinking population and closed borders due to the pandemic further exacerbates the situation. But international borderless hiring is quickly emerging as a viable solution. Through remote hiring, Australian companies can now cast a wider net and hire the best talent located anywhere in the world. With some skillsets geographically concentrated in specific talent hubs, remote hiring also provides cost-effective access to these highly sought-after professionals. Additionally, the Australian government recently launched initiatives to encourage and promote international hiring. Although the benefits for remote hiring are plentiful, companies must stay on top of compliance risks and administrative nightmares surrounding legal, tax, and contractual specificities. In this episode, Leo interviews Craig Goldblatt, Vice President of Partners & Alliances for Globalization Partners, as they discuss Australia's talent shortage, tips on growing remotely, and tools and management strategies companies can deploy today.

In this second episode with Thibaut Briere (actually one single recording but Thibaut had a lot to share!), we are focusing on the Asian market, its complexity and how crucial it is to test this market. How, will you ask! Thibaut advises to build your website with a different landing page for each country. This way, you can test your messaging per country… He also explains how to use Facebook ads and LinkedIn. Another episode full of concrete tips! What is important is to learn about your market while according to him, the future of marketing will be driven by a s”ocial media fatigue”; COVID and digitalisation have seen an increasing traffic on social medias but without actions taken by users. As a result, the cost of ads has decreased but their efficiency as well! For Thibaut, it’s not enough to publish, you need quality content with a proper branding and messaging; “there is no shortcut in marketing”.

Online event from February 25th 2021, with guest speakers Matthew Browne (Black Nova Group - Sydney) and Andy Leroux (Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center - San Francisco) and moderated by Startup&Angels co-founder, Leo Denes. Andy helps us understanding better how to raise funds in the US; a very heavy and long process that he describes for us. He also warns that since 2018, it's getting harder for early stage startups to raise as investors are looking at scale-ups mainly... On the Australian side, Matt talks about a good seed and pre-seed focus which is more encouraging for early stage founders! Our panel also discussed the remote disruption in fundraising, with US VCs accepting and opening more and more to foreign companies through digital meetings and process flows. Matt also mentioned a recent “propensity of US investors to invest in Australia" which is a great news for the ecosystem. The pandemic has seen a “sophistication of the Australian ecosystem” with a better maturity of programs, accelerators and investors, diversifying to early stage startups. Best quotes: “Think about investors as partners as opposed as bankers” - Andy “Get working on the engine room as early as possible to have strong data to show investors” - Matt “Know yourself, where you want to go, who is with you and who you need” - Andy Contacts: Andy Le Roux: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andresleroux/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/andresleroux/] Matthew Browne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brownematthew/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/brownematthew/] Become a member of the Startup&angels community [https://startupsandangels.ramenlife.co/](free) >> https://startupsandangels.ramenlife.co/home and build your network, find your investor, meet your co-founder, share with your peers, connect with customers and make things happen!
