Alex Hills based Pattemores Meats is a name synonymous with quality meat products, and with the Redlands. Cathy Young of Accelerate Business Consultancy - Cathy, along with husband Geoff, run Accelerate Business Consultancy based in Raby Bay. Nicolas Robertson, Founder of SwapU - Nic wanted to help people to swap and share, so he developed SwapU, an app that helps people swap (pretty much) anything and everything. Robert Buehrig Founder of Cogniom - A not great experience with a relative in hospital convinced Robert that organisations need to better understand workflows and efficiently prioritise improvement projects by their return on investment potential.

11.01.2022 So occasionally you wonder if events like Startup Redlands really help and add value for new and emerging businesses. Theres lots of organising and then lots of fun and hullabaloo on the night, but its later, after all the excitement and when the dust has settled that those kinds of questions pop into your head. Then you get feedback like this from Phil West of last months pitch winners, Siren Cameras commenting about what they got out of Startup Redlands; "Contacts, pitch...ing experience, some new perspectives on where the business value sits, and covering some complex questions really helps ensure we correctly position our business." See Phils full blog post at https://www.sirencameras.com/blog-posts/pitch-night-winners Validation indeed, suddenly you know for sure that its all worthwhile!

Lots of people to thank for making this all happen, pitch panelists Vu Tran, Amanda Cole and Garry Hargrave.

06.01.2022 Searchlight Entrepreneurs Journey will be back on Bay FM 100.3 this coming Monday evening (23rd) from 7pm. Our fun conundrum question for this month will be ‘Sa...les and Marketing, one and the same or two different processes’? As a dyed in the wool sales type person I have some views on this one! Does a good marketing person necessarily make a good salesperson, and vice versa? Why does marketing attract all the cool kids, while sales is often regarded as a less glamorous process? Joining myself and co-host Sharyn Doolan to take a look at this, and tell us about their own Entrepreneurial Journeys will be; Vu Tran Co-Founder of workplace e-learning platform and local Logan success story Go1 Mark D Jones MD of Brisbane based digital marketing agency Your Digital Solution Jason Atkins Founder and CEO of Gold Coast based share registry management platform Cake Equity Matt Holme Founder and CEO of Brisbane startup and ecommerce fintech YouPay Join us on Monday evening from 7pm on-line at www.bayfm.org.au or on FM 100.3 if you are in the Redlands or Brisbane area. #startupredlands #Startups, #Entrepreneurship

06.01.2022 A big shout out and thanks to all our fantastic guests who made last week's edition of 'Searchlight - Entrepreneurs Journey' on Bay FM 100.3 such a great program as we delved into the topic of 'Intellectual Property - What it is and how to protect it'. Gail Bray and Craig Charlton of Lock Jaw Ladder Grip, Mark Metzeling from Macpherson Kelley Lawyers, Rob Johnson from Agtecnic plus Jeff Jaraved and Taryn Syratt from CAASie App. Not to mention of course my wonderful 'her of th...e voice' co-host Sharyn Doolan.

06.01.2022 The Startup Redlands Pitch night event scheduled for Wednesday the 18th of March is cancelled. While of course we fall well under the 500 people limit the reality is that we had a much lower than usual number of pre-registered attendees. Given that and the overall current circumstances, cancelling just seems like the right thing to do. We will aim to kick of Startup Redlands again as soon as the current COVID-19 crisis is past. In the meantime, stay safe, keep a lookout for those who are most at risk and most of all, keep smiling! #startupredlands
