Virescent Ventures is hiring! Come join Australia's leading climate tech venture fund. We're looking for a talented and passionate Investment Associate or Manager, Sydney or Melbourne. Apply here by 29 September: app.beapplied.com/apply/bfoor6vi… #climatetech #venturecapital

More support is here for early stage AgriTech companies in Victoria, with the launch of the @LaunchVic Hugh Victor McKay Fund. The fund will co-invest $100k - $200k alongside private investors, with the aim of least 5 Victorian based AgriTech investments in the next 12 months. If you can raise some cash from private investors or seed stage VCs, this fund can help extend that capital runway which acts a big de-risking incentive for those investors. I've seen many AgriTech companies struggling to get that critical $500k funding launch pad, that is needed to get a product to market. I believe that this fund can start to address that gap. launchvic.org/investment/the…

@fergusgreen @unionsaustralia @ConversationEDU Nice work Ferg. I'm curious what worked in Geelong when Ford shut down? Geelong seems to have boomed in the last 10yrs (noting Geelong's economy was probably less reliant on Ford than Gippsland is on coal)

@n720ute @fergusgreen @InsidersABC I logged onto Youtube to search for this exact vid!

Richard Marles on @InsidersABC saying we need the nuclear subs to protect our oil supplies over the next two decades. So why not spend some of the $368 billion on decarbonising our transport sector?

I'm thrilled to announce I've joined the Virescent Ventures team! Virescent is a leading Aus climate technology venture capital firm, pre-seed to growth, with over 20 great investments to date. Keen to chat to any founders in the space!

After 8 fantastic years, it's time for me to say farewell to Social Ventures Australia and start a new chapter in my life. SVA is an incredible place to work and this is a once in a lifetime job opportunity. So If you're interested in impact investing, please apply!

@fergusgreen @uclspp Go Ferg!

Excited to start in my new post today as Lecturer in Political Theory & Public Policy at UCL @uclspp! Looking forward to meeting and working with so many fabulous new colleagues.

@yeoldewildy Fan upset at Melbourne team not being awarded match by the umpires

This terrible decision by the umpires impacted the game result. What a shocker #AFLSaintsCrows

@yeoldewildy nahhhhhh

A 20m handball to the boundary line in defence, nowhere near a teammate 😡 That’s deliberate at day of the week. Exciting game #AFLCrowsDees

@STREATmelbourne Agree. Great to see you there @Bec_Scott

We stand in solidarity with people fighting against gender violence. #EnoughIsEnough #March4Justice #WhyIMarch

Talking to my family and friends back in Adelaide dealing with lockdown reminded me a bit of this...

It’s down to the wire in the nation that stops a race. Thanks for watching this year! See you in 2021.

@BJColley @chessiqua @mattallen @Social_Ventures is interested in funding a range of affordable housing - happy to chat further!

@chessiqua @mattallen know anyone who’s doing ethical-debt-financing - especially for more “traditional” investments (Eg sustainable housing) rather than SaaS?

The “Byron Collective” looks amazing @chessiqua Are 100% of the pooled-funds from those who are going to live in the townhouses? Or could you include % from ethical funds & angels?
