The History of the Australian Startup Ecosystem: Interview Series
Business:Entrepreneurship
Alex Carpenter is the founder (or as he puts it, the “Initial Nudger, Steward and Groundskeeper”) of The Guild of Entrepreneurs, an independent organisation that draws on Alex’s experience, as well as that of many mentors within Australia’s startup ecosystem, to support entrepreneurs. Before starting The Guild of Entrepreneurs, Alex founded half a dozen companies, including Citrus WA, a hospitality supplier, and Atlas Events, which organises community events to promotes affordable opportunities for people to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. In his conversation with Adam, Alex discusses how Australia’s startup ecosystem is radically more cooperative and collaborative than in corporate settings, as well as his belief that Australia needs to get better at providing entrepreneurial role models to kids in order to promote startups as a viable career opportunity.
