Co Ventures Community x Tom Brunskill
Join us in San Francisco's coolest greenhouse bar (pun intended) for an evening with Tom Brunskill, one of the clearest examples of the full founder journey in the Aussie network.
Tom started as a corporate lawyer in Australia, then co-founded Forage, the virtual job-simulation platform. Forage grew from an Australian idea to nearly five million users worldwide, backed by Y Combinator, Lightspeed and Blackbird, before it was acquired in 2024. Today he's Chief Revenue Officer at Marqo, building from the other side of the table as an operator inside a fast-scaling AI company.
Founder. Exit. Operator. Very few Aussie's have done all three.
Maxine sits down with Tom to get into it: building from Australia into the US, knowing when to sell, what the exit actually felt like, and why he chose to go back inside as an operator rather than start again.
Come to meet other Aussie founders, operators and investors in the Co Ventures Community.
