A Merry Techboard Christmas

Well that time of year is upon us again and what a year it has been.

Techboard has focussed this year on expanding from its base in Western Australia to make its platform truly national. At the start of the year we had around 750 company profiles of WA companies we now have almost 2000 on the platform from across the country. We have expanded our team from 2 to 5 with Alex in Sydney, Bec in Melbourne and most recently Brett in Brisbane joining Raf and myself. We rounded off the year with our first ever National Awards in conjunction with StartCon and thanks to the support of MYOB, RedBull and the Polyglot Group. We also had our (possibly last) WA specific Techboard Awards which were a great success thanks to the support of Startup WA, eGroup, Larsen Ventures, the Beacham Group and the City of Perth.

MoneyMe Tops Techboard Ranking for November/December 2017

Topping off a big year, this is Techboard’s final Ranking for 2017. We normally close off our rankings at the end of the Month but the end of November and beginning of December were massive for the Techboard Team. We had our Techboard 2017 National Awards in association with StartCon in Sydney on 30 November, followed by the StartCon Conference itself. then the Co-founders headed back to Perth for a hectic Week in the Perth Startup Calendar with the West Tech Fest which also incorporated our own event in collaboration with StartupWA incorporating the WA version of the Techboard Awards. So we decided to do our final ranking for the year covering November and the first half of December. Here it is… and have a Merry Christmas.
