Recently, our CEO Jon Medved traveled to Australia, shedding light on the huge amount of activity and interest Australian investors and strategic partners have already shown in the Startup Nation. The trip included stops in Sydney and Melbourne, and the celebration of a new milestone- $1Billion Australian dollars (AUD) under management, with a full 20% coming from the OurCrowd investor community down under!
