Here is our chinwag with Alan Jones (the good one) - he is a well-known part of the Australian technology ecosystem from his work in his collaborative venture M8 Ventures, and his regular roles as an investor and entrepreneur-in-residence for various startup accelerator programs. We dive into social justice issues, opportunities to correct imbalance in the tech ecosystem and what making time for family across the journey means to him.
Alan Jones (the good one) joins the A LOT TO SAY Podcast for the 2nd last released for 2020, and the 2nd one recorded in-person thus far. Alan is regularly enlisted as an entrepreneur in residence for various accelerator programs and is an active investor, advisor and mentor for all matters pertaining to technology growth, investment, go-to-market strategy, marketing, PR and so much more.
Alan is a part of the furniture in the Australian technology ecosystem, but in so many ways as he communicates, it feels like he is just getting started, both by way of his M8 Ventures initiative and also with the looming opportunities in the startup ecosystem off the back of the 2020 disruption. It feels like a new period of formative time for the ecosystem is close!
