Bugwolf is proud to be a featured startup this November at the Web Summit, the world's biggest tech startup event.

Bugwolf has been selected to participate as one of the top 45 in this year's Slush Pitching Competition in Singapore. This is an honor as well as a challenge that we intend to meet.

Management exists to strategically administer the organization in pursuit of organizational goals. They set the practices and tactics that are intended to achieve those goals. Over the past thirty years, management has become more dependent on software to provide the data necessary to make informed decisions. This has led not only to evidence based management, but also to the advent of software based decision support systems.

I love fintech, don’t get me wrong, but I’m starting to get the sense of late that we are heading towards a big data trend which we witnessed a few years back, where every story I read these days is about a startup disrupting financial services and the banks. Being a great fan of trends, normally I pick them early, this one I did not.

Leading up to an election, people’s opinions are ripe and I’ve been noticing of late too much negative messaging towards the Australian Government, selling the government short on the support they have provided startups. Much of this has been coming from various groups who have been forthcoming in claiming the parties are not doing enough and the policies put forward fall well short on other countries.

Credit Union Australia Limited has become another major Australian financial services corporation to develop innovation through startup partnerships. CUA will be launching their first hackathon in Brisbane. The event will be open to entrepreneurs, startups, developers and CUA employees.

The modern business environment requires an unprecedented ability to adapt and change. CEOs rely on their CIOs to keep their companies current in matters of IT, but this isn’t always easy or even possible. Success depends on the type of business culture that is being fostered and while there is no one perfect culture, some are better than others. This is where engaging startups can be a major advantage.

Bugwolf is now on the shortlist to pitch at RISE's startup competition. This is quite an honor. The shortlist was compiled by a panel of judges from over two-hundred applications, and to be on the shortlist is to be considered one of the top cutting edge startups in the world.

Millennials define success rather differently than their parents. Yes, they want to be debt free and financially independent, but they are far less inclined to sacrifice their passions in pursuit of those goals.

Ash Conway, founder and CEO of Bugwolf, chalked up another win at the first B2B pitching night hosted by Melbourne co-working space Level 3.

Bugwolf has won the first CIO Strategy Summit Shark Tank pitch night.

So much time is invested in preparing, prospecting, and pitching to investors. I’ve never raised capital before. We’ve been bootstrapped for the past two years and we’re capital efficient, but a few months back I started preparing to raise a small amount of capital to scale the business faster - in between running the business and speaking with new clients.
