FOUNDERS PANEL

The Founders Panel features 3 startup founders and execs from different industries who have had a great year – here are the startup founders and execs who presented at FSF2020.

Renae Bunster

Global President, Bunsters
Renae Bunster is a former TV journalist who accidentally fell into business. Her love of hot sauce, impish sense of humour and contagious enthusiasm saw her flagship product ‘Shit the Bed’ hot sauce become an instant best seller and cult hit, both here and in the USA. The success of the business has seen Bunsters close a record-breaking $2M equity crowdfunding campaign in 2020, become the #1 bestselling hot sauce on Amazon USA, and be featured on You Tube celebrity chat show ‘Hot Ones’.

Dan Jovevski

Founder & CEO, WeMoney
Dan established WeMoney in 2019, an AI based financial wellness platform that helps people achieve their financial goals leveraging frontier research in behavioural science and economics. Think of it as the ‘Noom for your money’. This is Dan's second venture after founding another fintech (SwitchMyLoan) which he exited to a listed Australian company in 2016. Dan's passions are how technology can create a more equal society and break down barriers access to financial freedom. WeMoney recently raised closed a $2M seed capital round.

Matt James

CTO, Virtual Gaming Worlds
Matt’s passion from an early age has been working with people and software. His CTO role at VGW combines both these passions every day. VGW has grown to more than $770M in revenue this year, and $70M+ profit.
