The start up community in the Gold Coast of Australia owes a huge debt of gratitude to the tenacity and endurance of this man. His continuous drive and passion to embrace and support start-ups is almost as impressive as the calm and level-headed manner in which he operates.
Working with Aaron is an exciting chance to grow, learn and develop, no matter what your skill level or understanding of tech based start-ups and business development. If you get the opportunity to work with Aaron, grab it with both hands.

I have had the pleasure of receiving start up business guidance from Aaron and the team at Silicon Lakes over the past 12 months for various activities including what I am now able to fully focus on, uBegin. This guidance has been critical, personable, empowering, and sometimes crushing (as it needed to be). Always was it delivered with the highest levels of integrity and care for me as an individual, and the ultimate goal of seeing me become successful as a person.

I have found Aaron to be an honest, humble, and trustworthy man, with an incredible passion for the start up industry. He is a significant asset to the Gold Coast business community.

The time I have spent with Aaron and the team at Silicon Lakes has been hugely valuable to me and my start-up tech business.

They have helped me through an array of tasks and offer some of the most valuable and realistic advice I have ever received.

I really look forward to continuing my work with Silicon Lakes and would recommend Aaron and the team to anyone looking to build an MVP / commercialise a business and accelerate through the build-measure-learn feedback cycle as quickly as possible.
