Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

We’re taking the journey into the brave new world of startups and startup investing, continuing the conversation with successful startup founder, tech startup investor and Shark Tank star Steve Baxter. Last week we delved into the entrepreneurial world as we followed Steve’s own journey to startup success and what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.  This week we take this to the next level to consider what makes a successful startup and how you can go about evaluating and investing in them. According to recent research, the failure rate for a venture fund portfolio is 40% to 50% in a given year, and 90% of all companies invested in will not make it beyond the 10 year mark. So the notion that only one in 10 venture capital investments will succeed is industry expectation. But the 10% of companies that do make it big can return many thousands of percent to investors. Understandably, typical venture deals are structured over 10 years until exit. The ideal exit strategy is for the company to go public via an initial public offering (IPO), which can generate the out-sized returns expected from taking on such risk. Other exit strategies that are less desirable include being acquired by another company or remaining as a private, profitable venture. So as an investment class, startups are an area of big risks with the slim probability of big rewards. So how can investors be successful at the startup game? This is where Steve Baxter comes in. As you already know if you listened to last episode’s part 1 chat, Steve became a celebrity startup investor as a Shark on the popular TV Show Shark Tank following his personal startup founder success with PIPE Networks, which was acquired for a whopping $373 million. Steve now runs TEN13, an investment syndicate platform for sophisticated investors to invest alongside him and the experienced Transition Level Investments team. Unlike many venture capitalists, Steve puts his own cash on the dash to the tune of an average of 15% to 20% of every seed deal. Enjoy startup investing insights from one of the best in the business.

What separates the best entrepreneurs from the rest? Top investor, founder and ‘Shark’ Steve Baxter knows better than anyone. Steve is one of Australia’s most successful tech entrepreneurs who gives back as an investor and mentor, while also starring on Channel 10’s very popular Shark Tank Australia. In this episode we’ll look at what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur alongside Steve’s own journey, while next episode we delve into what makes a successful start up business and how you go about evaluating and investing in them. Steve is the living epitome of the old saying that ‘Today I’ll invest in what others won’t, so tomorrow I can do what others can’t!’ In 1994, at the age of just 23, Steve put his life savings of $11,000 on the line to launch his first startup, the pioneering internet service provider SE Net, from the spare room of his Adelaide home, as you’ll hear in detail during our chat. And it was around that time that I had the pleasure of first meeting Steve, as his business partner was a mutual and longtime friend of mine Chris Foote. Growing rapidly to service more than 35,000 customers, SE Net was eventually sold and acquired by Ozemail under the stewardship of its Founding Director and past Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. In 2001, Steve then teamed with a schoolmate to launch his second startup, PIPE Networks, a provider of wholesale telecom infrastructure that was listed on the ASX in 2005. Eight years later they sold it to the TPG Group for the princely sum of just $373 million – a truly hard fought and lifechanging moment. Steve then spent a year working with Google in California in 2008, leading a project to deliver high-speed telecommunications systems across North America. Since 2010 he has become an early stage investor in startups through his investment company, Transition Level Investments. This led to the founding of Brisbane tech startup hub River City Labs and the creation of Startup Catalyst and RiverPitch programs, and he’s been championing Australian startups and entrepreneurs ever since.  He’s also been on the listed boards of Vocus Telecoms, Indoor Skydive Australia Group and Other Levels as well as being on the board of Commercialisation Australia. Steve’s also been heavily involved in the early days of founding numerous industry groups and forums such as the South Australian Internet Association, South Australian Internet Exchange, Australian Domain Name Authority, and more. Steve now runs TEN13, an investment syndicate platform for sophisticated investors to invest alongside him and the experienced Transition Level Investments team, as unlike many venture capitalists, Steve puts his own cash on the dash to the tune of an average of 15% to 20% of every seed deal. TEN13 understands that to get great returns you need to invest in global companies, so they’ve built a global portfolio across five continents with a value of over $2 billion in its first 18 months. So If you’re a sophisticated investor looking to diversify your portfolio and invest in top calibre technology companies, reach out to Steve and his high calibre TEN13 investment team who undertake exhaustive due diligence before they invest.

Who do you trust, and who can you trust? In these troubled and challenging times, building trust is key to achieving sustainable success. And one of the best living examples of someone who exemplifies all of the rare qualities of trust and supportive leadership in a genuine, humble way is our guest Barry Richardson. Barry is one of those people that was brought up to believe that your word is your deed and that everything is signed and sealed by simply looking someone squarely in the eye and giving them a handshake. If Barry says he’s going to do something he does it, and he stays true to his principles and will walk away if someone tries to compromise them. He’s consistently true to himself and true to all of those around him. Barry, also known as ‘Bones’, is one of those rare wise men that speaks his truth quietly and humbly, but when he talks, you just stop and listen. He’s the embodiment of that old saying ‘that a wise man only talks when he has something to say, but a fool talks because he has to say something.’ I’ve been a massive fan of Barry’s since the 1960s during his glory days as a premiership VFL footballer for my team the mighty Richmond Tigers, and he went on to become the coach and then the club president - and there are very very few who have achieved this level of total accomplishment. So to set the scene so that you can appreciate the full spectrum of Barry Richardson’s incredible achievements, here’s a brief snapshot.  As an elite footballer he kicked 134 goals and played 125 games over nine seasons from 1965 to 1974 and won three premierships during the Richmond Tigers’ golden age (in 1967,69 & 74) when he played in Richmond’s first drought breaking and winning premiership for over 24 years. This was an amazing feat during the time when the game was yet to become professional and players were part time, holding down full time jobs and working careers in order to pay their way. Bones played during the rough and tough days of mud, blood and beer and was one of ‘Hafey’s Heroes’ when he was coached by the club’s team of the century coach, Tommy Hafey, who was famous for always saying ‘I’m sensational but getting better!’  These were the days when the coach led by example and Tommy was still doing a thousand sit ups a day and 200 pushups when he was well into his 70s, and this daily discipline has rubbed off on Barry who still keeps himself fit at a similar age. Two years after retiring from playing, Bones won the difficult job of coach of the Richmond Tigers, which was a big ask, taking over from the legendary Tommy Hafey and being in charge of many of his former team mates at just 30 years of age. Many commended Barry for his inclusive, trusting approach that was way ahead of the time. This was a cut throat era in the game, when the instant pressure to perform from the ferocious and impatient Tiger Army, created a mistrusting environment where the Tigers administration would constantly eat their young by only offering coaches one year contracts and then regularly sacking them. So Barry lasted two seasons as coach, which was more than most during this revolving door period. This was an environment where the pressure to perform created an endemic culture of mistrust that led to Richmond’s lost years, going without a premiership for another 34 years. But on the strength of his always trustworthy and dependable approach, Barry was far from done in the corridors of football, joining the Melbourne Demons in 1981 as Chairman of Selectors, before returning to Richmond in the haloed position of Club President for a year. He resigned on principle, when his handshake deal with the then coach was overturned by the administration.  His trustworthy, reliable approach was further rewarded when he then joined the West Coast Eagles, before spending time at Melbourne, Carlton and Geelong. And Barry’s high achievements weren’t restricted to football. Professionally, he was a pioneer of sports physiotherapy and he’s stayed at the forefront of his profession with a client list that includes the who’s who of world wide elite sport during those days, including legendary cricketer Dennis Lillee, AFL legend Ron Barassi, US tennis star Jimmy Connors and world famous ice skaters Torville and Dean. Barry is one of those rare individuals who has managed to balance the competing pressures of family, elite sport and his professional career as a sports physio. Throughout his personal, professional and sporting career, Barry’s cool, calm and collected demeanour engendered instant trust, respect and admiration from anyone who knew him, and he’s been described as versatile, valiant, valuable and victorious – which sums him up perfectly.  And the reason he reached the giddy heights of stardom and sustainable success both on and off the football field, and in his thriving business as a physio to the world’s greats, all comes down to his reliable, dependable trustworthiness and the respect this has engendered, and you’ll hear all about this in our great conversation today.

It is impossible to ignore the past when you predict the future   In last month’s CoreLogic Home Value Index we saw the Australian housing boom continue to rise by 1.5% to achieve a broad-based national annual rise of 18.4%.  Eliza Owen unpacks the report and gives an insight as to what the future could hold.  The cheapest solution is not always the best.  Can 2 cheap properties be better than one more expensive property?  That is the question Bushy asks buyers agent Josh Masters.  You might guess his answer, but Bushy also asks Is there a budget that is too low or too high, where it's not worthwhile splitting?   To round out this week's show, Bushy covers the importance of research, focusing on the right metrics, and recognizing that negotiation starts at hello.

When it comes to investment, there’s never been a more important time to get educated and build a solid set of investment principles. For me (Bushy), some of these timeless investment principles and lessons learned are: It’s all about time Don’t waste your time and money trying to outperform the market Investments behave randomly in the short term Avoid the traps and costs of overly actively trading Don’t chase returns Diversify across uncorrelated assets Be very wary of investment market forecasts and projections And the best way to inculcate these and other investment lessons is to continuously improve your investment education. This is a fundamental belief of our guest Andrew Baxter. Andrew is the founder and CEO of Australian Investment Education. His career started at the hub of global investment markets, the City Of London. There, he worked for some of the largest institutions building up a broad based expertise in trading and investing across global markets. Since his move to Australia in 1999, he has been on a mission to educate and empower everyday investors on how to build better returns, manage risk and ultimately enjoy a richer life.  He has been invited to speak around the world alongside some of the biggest names in the personal development and wealth space. In Andrew’s own words, his flagship, Australian Investment Education, brings together the complexities of financial markets and distills them down into simple, bite sized chunks that just about anyone can follow.  In addition to training and education, Andrew Baxter is the owner and director of a number of companies ranging across areas such as Advisory, Financial Technology, Brokerage, Financial Planning and Accounting. You can find out more Andrew and Australian Investment Education on his Money and Investing podcast or at www.australianinvestmenteducation.com.au. Like all things investment, you’ll need to do your own detailed due diligence before deciding to proceed with Australian Investment Education. And I also stress that Australian Investment Education’s ‘cash flow on demand’ options trading strategy is not for the beginner or the uninitiated – there are inherent, unseen risks in options trading if you don’t know what you are doing, so ensure that you fully educate yourself and historically backtest your trading system in detail before you put your hard cash on the dash – again it’s all about investing in your education first before investing in assets.   Now in our lively and entertaining chat today, Andrew talks about: Away and towards values The danger of assuming your work success translates into investing success  His cash flow on demand options income strategy The importance of intention, motivation and self reflection on your investing success The need to really know yourself and where you want to get to The importance of developing your process in line with your skills evolution Indices versus stock picking – Exchange Traded Funds – passive investment, diversification  His view on the risks of the unregulated maverick crypto market and the future potential of blockchain technology  And much much more!

As covid lockdowns continue to create widespread uncertainty in the days ahead is this a time for indecision?  Bushy seeks the advice of buyers agent Lachlan Vidler who gives Bushy an unexpected answer to that question.  Last week Bushy met up with Brett Birkill from Birkill Developments as an example of the diversity of people that property attracts and the outstanding opportunities it provides. In the second part of their conversation, Brett explains why he decided to venture into the cut and thrust of property development and why he chose Melbourne as the market to build townhouses. Many passive income investors are now looking into the commercial property to improve their cash flows.   Bushy explores the opportunities commercial property creates compared with residential as he is joined by Steve Palise.  To wrap the show up this week, Bushy will help build your negotiation tool kit with his tips on ‘Mirroring and Labelling’.
