StartupHouse: Aussie Entrepreneur in Silicon Valley


While passing through San Francisco on the return trip from the AUTM conference in March, Fiona Cameron, Associate Director Innovation at UWS, had the pleasure of meeting Elias Bizannes at the still- in-development StartupHouse buildings.

Over coffee at a local cafe Elias shared his story with me and his enthusiasm to make a difference in the world through entrepreneurial ventures. Elias is a Sydney boy and has already enjoyed silicon valley success with the StartupBus program. Elias is working tirelessly to set up the bare bones of StartupHouse in San Francisco, and it should be launching soon as the lean mean location to catapult tomorrow’s entrepreneurs into “overnight success” or at least provide guidance to head in the right direction.

Elias’s enthusiasm is catching and he kindly agreed to the short video attached. If you tossing around whether or not to start out with your big idea, have a look at the video and it should excite you to get out and do it!
