As The Biz Lab prepares to extend the rollout of its Startup Zodiac program in the Australian startup ecosystem, we had the privilege of speaking to some of the sector's leading influencers on the reality of being a startup in the current environment. Dante St James is the Director of Innovation and Investment at Darwin Innovation Hub. He explains to our host Dr. YONG Hsin Ning from The Biz Lab the importance of aligning ambition and implementation strategy. Key message: Many founders think they can build a multi-million dollar business with a $29/month subscription model, not realising the vast resources required. It’s crucial to align business models with realistic growth expectations, especially in cash flow management.
