Steven Marks and Rob Hazen - Guzman y Gomez
|
 |
Steven and Rob epitomise the entrepreneurial spirit. They come from diverse backgrounds in managing hedge funds and fashion retail, invested their own money into a venture that lacks an established local market and have become evangelists for a brand that is already expanding from the fast food market into manufacturing. In addition to this, they are faced with an audience that doesn’t understand Mexican cuisine and needs to be educated in the process. On persistence, passion and drive they have now established four stores, a manufacturing warehouse and are rapidly becoming the next big franchising business opportunity in Australia.
This will be another Innovation bay exclusive, as neither Steve or Rob have spoken publically about their journey to date.

Jason Calacanis from Mahalo confirmed for dinner
|
We heard today that Jason Calacanis has agreed to speak at a dinner with us on Tuesday 20 May 2008. Jason is a true internet entrepreneur having successfully lived, breathed and made money from the internet since 1996.
Jason is a keen adopter of social software tools like Qik and Twitter (if you are not sure what these are you should come along). At the dinner, he will be sharing his thoughts on the search arena. He is particularly interested in exploring how the search market differs internationally, so expect a two-way conversation about the Australian market place.
We are very lucky to have such a high profile speaker joining us.
