    Soical Endeavour Prize
    I wanted to see how young entrepreneurs in the making could apply their skills to helping charities with new fundraising programs.  Therefore through my foundation (KAZACOS FOUNDATION) grant to the UNSW Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship the Social Endeavour Prize Competition was established.  The finals night was held in the Kpower Kafe in May.  I would like to thank the students and charities that participated, it was a great night.  Read all about it at

    Smartpen - The best office gadget of the year...
    I have been using the livescribe smartpen for a few months now.  If you go to lots of meetings then this is the gadget for you.  It has a lot of features but the best are is its ability to record both the written and spoken word and synchronise the two.  This means at any latter date you can tap  anywhere on your notes at it will let you here what was been said at the very time that you wrote the word/sentance in your notebook.  Check it out at kpower smartpen

    The real value of invention

    I receive a lot of invitations to invest in companies.  Unfortunately most of them over value their intellectual property.  A simple formula to use is:  if it  cost  $1million to create a product it will cost $10million to commercialise it and $100 million to setup international sales and marketing.  Also the hockey stick sales graphs are always presented.  Remember to generate large sales you need successful senior sales executives (and a lot of them).  Will these individuals leave the comfort of a good job making good commission  for a known brand to work for a unknown startup?  All these factors reflect in determining the value of the invention.
