Stuart has a background in investments and start-ups across New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

He has combined this experience with his passion for entrepreneurship, sustainability, and socially impactful outcomes by leading investments into venture- and growth-stage ventures.

He encountered a common theme of early-stage companies needing experienced and effective support to help navigate and accelerate growth while avoiding costly, and sometimes terminal, mistakes. Through this, he founded Antipodean Ventures, a partner that provides essential complementary skills to technical founders and teams throughout growth.

Stuart holds a Master of Management Studies with First Class Honours and a Bachelor of Business Analysis through the University of Waikato. In addition, he has Certificates in Financial Modeling & Financial Advice (Real Estate & Investments).
