Thank you to all who have been sending me congrats messages. It is amazing how quickly the 8 years has passed. It is also fascinating to know that our simple idea which started out as a glossy magazine, has now enabled us to host 22 Showcase events, in 6 countries, to over 3500 attendees and profile over 120 companies in the last 12 months alone.
As with all businesses there are many ups and downs along the journey and it the support of those you come across on the journey, which is part of what drives you to want to achieve more.
Yesterday we hosted the Singapore Capital Expo to just under 300 attendees (the picture above is of yesterday's audience) and we featured 16 innovative companies. In the evening we hosted 85 Family Offices and Fund Managers at the Australian Commissioners Residence in Singapore. Just 2 weeks ago we worked with Bloomberg to Showcase 9 companies to 140 investors and Fund Managers. Each event, we are very proud of! Thank you to the Austrade team, Shareinvestor.com and Bloomberg for helping to make that possible.
Our space has never received so much attention and the ability to connect deal makers, investors and emerging companies across Asia Pacific is what we will aggressively pursue. We have some big announcements coming up shortly and our ambitions for what is to come has grown in scale.
Thank you to those who have supported us in our journey. A special thanks to PwC, DLA Piper, NZTE, Austrade, Shareinvestor.com, Bloomberg, Investec, ASX, SGX and Ausbiotech. We appreciate everything you have done for us, in helping us build awareness for Emerging Growth Companies.
The last thanks is to the Wholesale Investor team who work hard to help make what we do look easy :). We still feel like we are only just starting to get warmed up and our next phase is about accelerating the achievements to date.

8 年Congrats Steve. Wholesale Investor has definitely helped grow the awareness of many private and smaller ASX listed companies amongst a wide range of investors. It has been amazing to see the growth and development of your business. I look forward to seeing what the next 8 years brings.
