Ep. 013: The World of Start-Ups and Venture Capital w/ Startmate CEO, Michael Batko

This was an episode that really resonated with us, as we are both Commerce students - but still don't really know exactly what we are passionate about. Michael has an incredible journey navigating his way through this same situation, going through the Corporate path to eventually get involved in the startup world. Being the CEO of one of the biggest start-up accelerator firms in Australia and New Zealand, operating his own online course, creating NFT's and actively posting valuable content on Twitter and his Blog website, goes to show what kind of individual Michael is. 

In this episode we cover:

• Michael's journey through the Corporate world to find his true passion in the VC space
• The general process of VC and where Startmate fits into that process
• Michael's mantra of 'Increase your surface area for success'
• The importance of culture & his philosophy at Startmate 
• Specific habits to increase productivity and manage time efficiently
