A big THANK YOU to Tim Dawson from Lauxes Grates for your ongoing support, and for sponsoring monetary prizes for our winner.

Thank you, Simon, for providing Culture Kings vouchers to our winners. Our Culture Kings fans were over the moon to see you in person and receive the very special bonus awards.

A very special THANK YOU to all parents of our students for their support and helping our young entrepreneurs achieve their goals. 

You are our rocks, who provide the platform and support to our entrepreneurs, enabling them to propel to a better future.

A massive THANK YOU to all our mentors (Laurence Gude, Henry Hardy, Dr Ralf MuhlBerger, Tim Dawson, Rana Semaan, Emma Kruger, Nikki Dallimore, Mark Thompson, Belinda Gruebner and Brent Bell, Olivia Cosh, Cameron Davis, Kylie, and Nedda), the exceptional business leaders who despite their busy schedules running their businesses found time to support our students and provide them with the industry advice, contacts and feedback to make the students' business plans more robust and launches more successful.

 
And last, but not least, a HUGE THANK YOU to MiniBoss Teachers and business coaches Sam, Acushla, and Kate for your nurturing nature, love and care you've invested into our bright stars. They wouldn't have made it without your guidance and support.

All students did exceptionally well explaining to the judges their value proposition, marketing strategies, budgets, ROI, early sales results, manufacturing and supply process, etc. It was so impressive to see how well our students understand key business concepts and how well they solve problems for their customers. It was truly a proud moment for the parents and for us at the MiniBoss Australia Business School.
