Why do most start-ups fail? Presented by Kirk Drage Conversations with the Innovation Collaboration Centre (ICC) Wednesday, 20 May 2020 10:00am - 10:30am (ACST) Kirk Drage knows a thing or two about start-ups after spending 12 years with Microsoft based in Singapore as Head of Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Relations working with a portfolio of 20 innovation centres and 8000 start-ups across the region. Kirk returned to Adelaide to launch the platform LeapSheep, for Founders and Early Stage Investors in 2015, and is now exploring what we can learn about replicating the journey to success and why, even with this knowledge freely available, start-up failure rates are still so high in this special online seminar.
