Roar Apex

What happens when you swap traditional networking for a dinner with like-minded founders and creatives? ??? Amrit Rupa recently brought together an incredible mix of entrepreneurs who went beyond surface-level small talk. From chatting about unexpected encounters on movie sets ?? to sharing real-world experiences in business ??, it was a night of authentic connection and meaningful conversations. This dinner was about building relationships that go beyond the professional “work persona.” At Roar Apex, we believe in the power of these real-life interactions to foster the kind of collaboration that drives innovation. ???? We’re proud to support initiatives like this that bring people together because strong businesses are built on even stronger communities. Let’s continue to build these connections—one dinner at a time. ?? Who’s ready for the next one? #RoarApex #Entrepreneurship #Networking #Community

There’s something special about stepping away from screens and connecting in real life. Last night's dinner in Sydney brought together like-minded entrepreneurs for inspiring conversations, shared experiences, and meaningful insights. A big thanks to everyone who joined and to Dr Sam Prince & INDU Dining for creating such a warm, vibrant space. It wasn’t just networking—it was about building a supportive community. Here’s to more moments like this, where stories are shared, bonds are strengthened, and entrepreneurship feels a little less lonely. Cheers to real connections! ?? #remotetalent #globaltalent

Last week I did a thing... I DMed 6 people who were practically strangers on LinkedIn, and invited them to dinner ?? They all accepted, and we met yesterday.. and it was s?o? ?a?w?k?w?a?r?d? ???? ???????? ??????!! Why? Because traditional networking sucks.. Story time ?? .. I moved to Sydney 8 years ago (been working remotely the entire time). The only way to meet new people was to go to networking events. I've gone to dozens.. and all I have to show for it is a name on my LinkedIn connections tab who I know zilch about ?? .. I was doing some reflection end of last year, and I decided that I'm going to get to know 100 people on my LinkedIn on a deeper level in 2025. I was going to budget $10,000 of my income to sharing intimate experiences with these people. Why? Because if you ask any 80-year old person what the most important thing at the end of the day is, it's not ARR or net profit. It's ??????????????????????????. I mentioned this idea to Mustafa Kassim (CEO of Roar Global/Roar Apex) and he instantly said, "Roar would love to get involved!" He's a big community guy, already supporting many businesses in Melbourne.. and I was able to 3x my budget! ?? .. So who are my new friends..? Kush Jain: SmartSheet does $1B+ in revenue. Typically ~30% of enterprise SaaS revenue is via partners. This guy is the Head of Partnerships for JAPAC (also played in a band for 500+ people) Sergio Revilla: He's like the Sherlock Holmes of the corporate world (from organised crime to shady M&A). He's an SVP at the largest corporate investigations firm in the world Fernanda (Fay) Theiss: Moved to Aus (from Brazil) for a new adventure. Now runs and advises some of the largest companies in the country on People & Culture (don't mess with her; she used to be a pro body builder) Arjun Paliwal: This man is a celebrity in the property world (but used to be a kid model too). He runs one of the largest data-driven real estate companies in the country. Super inspiring individual Shavin Wijeyaratne: From living the nomad bartending life, to getting into Y Combinator, and now increasing access to healthcare across Australia. What a life this man leads (also beat a grandmaster at Chess) Nima Kermani: From not fitting in at the school to building a massive real estate portfolio to stick it to those that doubted him - he's well on track to financial freedom (and helping others do so along the way). Think I could have learned stuff like that about them at a networking event? Nada. The best part? We're already talking about ways in which we can help each other ?? .. A massive shoutout to INDU Dining/Dr Sam Prince for organising a private setting, an incredible fusion Sri Lankan spread, and some excellent wine to make the evening flow beautifully. Thanks for being part of this journey. Everyone loved the venue (and will be back) ???? #community #apexsessions

It's taken almost a week to follow up on all connections made at SXSW ?? Here are 5 ‘niche’ solutions with big potential, built by cool founders who we hung out with: Shutterspeed - did you know that creatives bill their work on a per/hour basis, but they never actually track their work? Shutterspeed is building the admin-free software to help creatives actual bill for the work they do. Heffron.ai - if you know anyone in real estate, you've probably seen them take 100 calls/day. It's hard to stay on top. That means they are missing opportunities. Heffron has built an AI agent that takes the call for you, asks qualifying questions, and sends you a text with the key points. desk.coach?- you probably weren't aware that you could get in legal trouble if a remote employee developed back pain because you didn't provide them an ergonomic work-from-home setup. We didn't either. Desk Coach helps businesses stay workplace risk-compliant in the most seamless way. Luna by Empathetic AI - Tax is complex and nuanced. Luna is an AI co-pilot for tax professionals to provide clients with specialized tax advice trained on opinions from thousands of tax experts in Australia. Strike ?? www.strike-app.ai how do you rank in AI search engines? I couldn't answer that. Strike has built a way to understand how AI search engines view your site and help you rank. Given the popularity of ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc, Imagine the traffic you get by optimizing this. Meeting these trailblazing founders at SXSW reaffirmed our mission to connect brands with the talent and insights needed to innovate and grow. Excited for what the future holds with these connections as inspiration! #RoarApex #SXSW #RemoteTalent?#TalentManagement #BusinessGrowth #Marketing
