鈥淚 offered to look after Honey and it turned into an incredibly rewarding experience. I then realised that there were more people out there like me: who love animals, have flexible schedules and would like to earn some extra money.鈥�

Today, this Sydney based start-up is Australia鈥檚 largest go-to pet sitting community in Australia.

鈥淚n my mind there had to be a reason as to why you couldn鈥檛 start a distillery in Sydney. I thought that if I did the research and found that reason, then I could put the idea to bed and get on with other things.

鈥淚 spent six months working on finding the reason, but never found anything I considered an absolute roadblock, so it was then I committed to starting Archie Rose.鈥�

Archie Rose Distillery became the first distillery to hit Sydney since the 1850s, and has become a popular venue in the inner-city suburb of Rosebery.

As a听Master of Commerce student Antonia Bolla, was changing the way women shop with her start-up . Antonia鈥檚 idea sparked while routinely getting ready for an event and struggling to find an outfit.

鈥淚 was listening to my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist, which suggests songs based on your tastes, and thought it would be so good to have something like this for fashion during my nothing-to-wear moments.鈥�

After winning the听Sydney Innovation Hub听Hatch prize through听Sydney Genesis, Antonia and her sister Lidia were able to produce their first prototype and go on to launch the virtual shopping assistant.

MBA alumnus, Carla Harris, is the CEO and co-founder of听. During the final capstone unit of her MBA at the Business School, Carla and her team developed Longevity as a way to help millennials save for retirement.

鈥淲e tracked back a couple of generations and started talking to millenials and social media savvy people to understand how we could prevent them from being in the same situation as their grandparents.鈥�

The solution became an app that contributes a small percentage of every spend a user makes into their superannuation. Since completing the project, Carla has continued to develop the app and was recently selected for the听听program, which aims to get more women into the tech start-up world.
