Sydney

Geek. Startups. Real-time technologies. Strategy. Finance. Innovation. Startup ecosystem advocate for Sydney and Australia. Well travelled.

I was mentoring way too many people last year (30+) in addition to supporting accelerators/incubators like founder institute and fishburners (which I have supported since inception in Sydney) and the clarity service offered a way to be more time efficient and screen out type kickers.

So if you are a business owner or entrepreneur with a tech or tech enabled business or idea I'd like to help. 100% of proceeds are donated to Kiva.org which in turn supports developing country entrepreneurs.

I worked with Peter for a number of years at Rothschild Australia. Peter was our main internal technology solutions supplier and was always business oriented and delivered on time. The operation was fast paced and always under pressure and Peter was always creative and helpful and contributed to the business solutions through his positive approach. I would have no hesitation working with Peter again.

Pete is at the heart of the Sydney tech startup community and without him the ecosystem would not be as established as it is. Pete's drive and passion for the industry has lead him to promote the SydStart conference, which is now one of the biggest tech conferences in Australia. His determination and drive is contagious which helps inspire others around him. I am fortunate to have worked with Pete and look forward to a continued strong business relationship with him.

I greatly admire Peter's work in the entrepreneurial community. Over the past years he has been involved in founding and assisting many projects that have vastly improved the ecosystem.

I would be honoured to work closely with him in future projects, and learn from his wealth of knowledge and experience.

I have known Pete since he was involved in the early days of Sydney Angels. He has sound industry knowledge in financial markets, investment, technology and disruptive start up innovation. He seems to be able to uniquely contribute to a wide range of challenges in these industries and often on a selfless basis. More recently I have spoken at the major events Pete runs called SydStart which is his hobby but is the largest of the kind in Australia and is a simple demonstration of how much he achieves.

I have had the pleasure of working with Peter Cooper for over 3 years on a range of complex projects in the Australian market. Peter is a fast thinking, highly intelligent and vastly knowledgeable individual. Peter is a unique individual who combines his extensive knowledge and experience in technology from concept to execution with a strong and equally impressive business / commercial skill set. Always dynamic in his approach, “A rare talent”. During the time I have known Peter he has continued to impress me with his ability to manage any situation and every environment. From small to large scale M&A projects, from start-up ventures to mature businesses, technical innovation, process management, change management and P&L control, Peter brings a wealth of experience to the table. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter to any future employer.

Peter is a great enthusiast the Australian tech startup scene.

He has the enviable qualities that make a great visionary as well as an all 'round nice guy.

He is astute and able to give razor sharp critique without being negative.

Additionally, Peter has a great sixth sense to see the value in something where other don't. That is why he is one of this country's great leaders.

Peter is a great enthusiast for businesses - both small and large. When I first met him I initially thought he was a big company guy (through his banking and technology experience), but as I got to know him a lot better I realised he had the enviable quality of being able to be the startup guy as well - just look at his CV. There's not many people who can do both - but Pete is one of them!

Peter ran a fantastic startup showcase in Sydney that was totally engaging and relevant... his enthusiasm is contagious and his ability to lead in the burgeoning Sydney tech industry is an important factor in its growning success... hes just a good guy.

I would recommend Peter for a variety of reasons.

His skill in rallying people around a decent cause has made him a leading light of the Sydney tech startup scene - including organising SydStart, one of the key events on the startup calendar.

At the same time his ability to balance different commitments has meant that despite his many responsibilities he always makes himself available to offer words of advice or guidance to young entrepreneurs looking to get started on their projects.

That willingness to give back demonstrates that, despite his many successes, Peter remains a man of, and for, the people.

I am seriously overjoyed that Peter is diving into the startup industry here in Sydney and making an impact.

He's got battle scars, brains, a business sense and a personality with a smile, which is one of the best investments you can make into the community and one we have needed for a long time.

I take my hat off to Peter for his time and effort in creating such a great event. Can't wait for the next one.

Peter knows how to spot and deliver what needs to be done to improve profitability. . and proof of this is SAASU. Accounting Online. If you know anyone who is running a small to medium business please let them know about it, it is much much cheaper and easier to use than the big name stuff you buy for hundreds of dollars (each year), thousands of companies already use it including many accountants and some major accounting firms. http://www.saasu.com/?affid=322fc01f-95f2-4dd6-b22b-5b15a15d9787
