Pedestrian founder’s big raise, Startup Daily and SmartCompany joined at the hip, and Australia’s most in-the-know investor

Usually the one doing the reporting, Startup Daily and its parent company Pinstripe Media is in the spotlight this week, having been acquired by SmartCompany’s Private Media. AJ Koch fills in for Simon to share how it came together. We also keep the celebratory theme going with two phenomenal guests behind some significant raises from the past week. Chris Wirasinha is the founder of Linkby, the mediatech that just closed a $23M Series B raise. After a successful exit from his first venture, youth media business Pedestrian.tv, Chris shares how different the experience is the second time around. Not only is he at a different stage of life, Linkby is already an international business, having setup already in New York and aggressively growing in the US market. The conversation with Chris spanned everything from hustle culture to NBA teams to founder fashion. From founder we move to investor, welcoming Brendan Hill from Ten13 into the hot seat to discuss two of his portfolio companies who were in the news this week. Everlab, a medtech with a fresh $15M raise, and Liam Fuller, the 17 yr-old Irish sensation who had a whirlwind tour of Australia that helped him land $2M seed capital for his startup Source. Brendan’s inner database of startups, raises, and investors in unmatched, and the discussion gives a good insight into how an investor goes about their business, builds community, and stays in the loop. This week’s episode of Startup 360 is supported by Vanta, helping startups unlock market opportunities through automated compliance.
