Who wants to be a Futurepreneur?

From humble beginnings, Australia's startup setup scene has entered a new phase of maturity.

While still a long way from Silicone Valley, the success of Aussie startups-turned-global-giants such as Atlassian, Canva and Afterpay has blazed a trail on which there appears no shortage of young Aussies hoping to follow.

According to venture capitalist Nick Crocker, there's never been a better time to found a company in Australia. Nick is one of eight young business leaders featured on a new podcast series Futurepreneur. 

Today on Please Explain, national business editor John McDuling joins Jess Irvine to discuss the new podcast series which delves behind the scenes of Australia's startup scene.
