Dickie Currer's Linkedin Analytics

When I was 18, I left the safety blanket of my very Northern English upbringing behind and spent six eye opening months backpacking through the wilds of South America- in a time before social media (bar myspace) was really even a thing. Throughout this life changing adventure I questioned what I was doing approximately 5,000 times. Dealing with sickness thousands of miles from home, abstract loneliness, language barriers and unstable political regions provided a constant challenge, though I never gave in. I’m that person. Once I am dedicated to do something, it will happen. That perseverance and hunger for new experiences has since driven me to uproot and settle in Melbourne, Australia and to carve out a career in the Startup ecosystem, supporting the innovators and entrepreneurs of tomorrow that are changing our world as we know it. I'm a partnerships guru, a mentor, a connector, a hype man for those that I believe in, a global citizen, a budding Angel Investor and a champion for the underrepresented and underprivileged. But most importantly, I'm still that 18 year old me, with a lust for life and an obsession for innovation, experience and adventure! During my line of work I get to impart this kind of enthusiasm onto other people and for me that is the best adventure I could have asked for. If you want to be a part of my journey then just ask me for a coffee, mine's a long black!
