Lead Instructor, Venture Building

The best way to learn venture building is to build ventures. But since that takes years and significant capital, we compress those experiences into intensive learning modules.

Tobias brings fifteen years of experience from the Australian startup ecosystem, having worked with over 200 early-stage companies across fintech, healthtech, and cleantech sectors. His teaching philosophy centres on practical application rather than theoretical frameworks.
