As a CEO, Steve has led five deep-tech startups from Day 0 through to profitability, exit or failure, backed by Series A funding from five of Australia's leading venture capital funds. These companies have helped customers increase revenue and reduce costs through innovative applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud infrastructure and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Steve built and led Melbourne-based Offspring Ventures, investing in spin-off ventures from Australia’s leading R&D institutions, including Inference (acquired by Five9 $US172M), Dimerix (ASX:DXB) and iCeutica (acquired by Iroko Pharma).
