The 2016 Top 50 Tech Pioneers, Australia and New ZealandH2 Ventures
We are pleased to present the inaugural ‘Tech Pioneers Report’, which showcases the most exciting and pioneering startups from Australia and New Zealand. These are the companies at the leading edge of the ‘ideas boom’ and the drivers of the economy of the future.
The Tech Pioneers 50 are those companies using technology to the best advantage and driving disruption within a variety of industries and sectors. These companies have a commitment
to excellence, superior customer experience and a demonstrated ability to do one thing in a market better than anyone else.
The process for selecting the top 50 pioneers involved a wide search for pioneering companies to create a comprehensive list that was then ranked based on 5 factors: total capital raised, rate of capital raising, location and degree of sub industry disruption and the judging panel’s subjective rating of the degree of product, service, customer experience and business model innovation. A formula was then used to combine this data and determine the overall ranking.
The report has been prepared by H2 Ventures, one of Australia’s leading venture capital firms, with the support of Investec Australia, a distinctive specialist lender and asset manager.
Business and Brexit: The risks of taking a stanceIpsos UK
British adults think that businesses should be involved in the EU referendum debate – but that doesn’t mean they will trust them. When asked whether different types of business should take part in the EU referendum campaign, support was high for British businesses to participate by publicly backing one side or the other, especially SMEs. However, this does not necessarily mean the public trust what big businesses say on the issues.
The new survey finds three-quarters (75%) of the public say that small and medium-size British businesses should participate in the debate – more than say the same for other groups such as academics (68%), think tanks (54%) and newspapers (52%). The contributions of SMEs are more welcome than those of big businesses – but still nearly seven in ten (69%) of British adults are happy for big British businesses which trade internationally to make their opinion on Brexit known. However, while three-fifths (57%) say that they trust small business owners on issues relating to the referendum, leaders of large businesses fare worse, being trusted on the issues by just three in ten (29%).
With all the information out there on what you should be thinking about when making food decisions, it can be confusing to know exactly what to focus on. There are so many nutrients and components in food that have associated health benefits and this infographic highlights the 5 best ones to keep an eye out for. Many common foods come with a nutritional boost in the form of macro or micro nutrients so keeping these in mind when grocery shopping can go a long way to fueling your body and your health!
This document summarizes the key findings of a study conducted by Newsworks and PwC on attention to different media types. The study found that traditional print and broadcast media receive more focused attention from consumers compared to digital media. Specifically, newspaper readers were more likely to regularly set time aside for newspapers, feel personally connected to them, and trust their content more than most other media. The sustained attention received made newspaper readers more likely to discuss issues they read about and be influenced regarding purchases. Overall, the study showed that traditional media with higher attention levels can have a more powerful impact on consumers than digital media with less focused attention.
If you want your content marketing to take your business closer to its goals, it helps to have a game plan – a strategic selection of plays you can rely on to help you beat the competition and score points with your target audience. Each year, our Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends research reveals which tactics marketers are currently using. And while it’s clear that certain platforms and plays are likely to cycle in and out of popularity over time, we’ve noticed an alarmingly consistent trend that seems to impact nearly all of them: Content marketers are experiencing a large gap between using a tactic and getting effective results from it. Our newest Playbook aims to help all content marketers better understand the value proposition of content marketing tactics and achieve greater success with their efforts.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

「INFOGRAPHIC」 The Great 21st Century North American War: Unicorns vs Narwhalsdomain .ME
“Second star to the right and straight on till morning” was once the only route to a magical place where fairies, mermaids, and other mythical beings could be found. However, we no longer need pixie dust to help us fly high above the skies. There are fairy-tale creatures running among us. Are we in Neverland? No, we are in the Unicorn era.
How come? Well, every tech startup company spawned after the great tech wreck of 2000 and 2001 that managed to reach $1 billion was said to ‘grow a horn’. The very term Unicorn Club was coined in 2013 by Aileen Lee when he introduced us to the concept.
It takes approximately 6 years and at least $95 million in funding for a tech startup to become a unicorn. If we look back on the last 15 years, the period between 2007 and 2009 showed to be the most fertile for starting a unicorn. This is supported by the fact that some of the most successful companies of today, Uber, Pinterest, Slack, Nutanix and many others, were founded right after the great economic collapse of 2008.
The average age of the mighty unicorn rider is 29 and the majority of them already had a vast experience working in tech companies. Although young, more than 70% have already founded a company prior to the one that reached stellar, 1-billion-dollar success.
However, many Millennials choose to ride down this track with a reliable partner. Whether it is the fear of the unknown or higher venture capital, 85% of young businessmen with a mutual history decide to continue in the same manner.
If you think that we are talking about only a small herd, you are in for a surprise as we can count more than 200 unicorns worldwide. Around 65% are headquartered in the US, with California being the leading habitat, as 39% of all US unicorns run around the Silicon Valley.
When it comes to Canadian tech startups, although they account for no more than 2% of all world unicorns, they are certainly a force to be reckoned with. The success of the Canadian 1-billion-dollar companies was recognized worldwide and in time they became a separate species. They were named after an animal that actually swims in those frigid northern waters – Narwhals.
Renamed by Brent Holiday, the CEO of Garibaldi Capital Advisors, Narwhal club includes startups that were launched as far back as 1999. Although there are only three narwhals ready to parry the herds of US unicorns, a significant number of them are expected to break the ice, such as Desire2Learn, iQmetrix, Wattpad and many others.
Who is currently at the very top of the North American billion-dollar ladder? Which narwhals dare to swim faster than the galloping unicorns? Scroll down to our infographic and see for yourself.

Lessons in Persuasive Language from The Game of ThronesThe Hoffman Agency
The document discusses Tyrion's persuasive speech to Daenerys in Game of Thrones, comparing it to speeches by Winston Churchill and Jerry Maguire. It notes that Tyrion's speech was effective without slides or props, relying solely on his words and delivery. The document suggests that while tools like PowerPoint are useful, the most persuasive presentations are often given by a speaker alone on stage expressing their viewpoint with conviction.
