Sidekicker is Australia’s largest online staffing platform that is re-inventing casual and temporary work for businesses and workers. Founded in 2012, Tom and his co-founder Jacqui have grown the company to now have 130 employees and raise $43m to date including Seek as a major investor.
Throughout the episode, Tom explains the importance of not getting too overjoyed on wins and too down on losses but rather keeping a level head throughout business. He also goes on to explain how Australia’s fundraising landscape has changed over the last 10 years.
