Summary

Today's Investor Focus guest is Adrian Bunter. Adrian started life at PwC as an accountant and got exposure to the private client sector in the mid 90’s which meant he had a front row seat to the dot.com rise and then subsequent crash. This gave him the opportunity to see the future of the internet. An early member of Sydney Angels, Adrian loved working with high growth companies doing clever things to change the world - the David versus Goliath battles as he puts it. Adrian has been on the board of Employment Hero for over 10 years. This company recently raised $263million to fund growth. The episode talks about how Adrian works to support founders as an investor in their growth phase, gut feel in investing, resilience in founders, analysing investment opportunities, managing angle syndicates, portfolio approach to early stage investing and much more. I’ve had the pleasure of serving on an early-stage board with Adrian, and his ability to provide an analytical view alongside an entrepreneurial gut feel provides significant value to the entrepreneurs he invests in and works with.
