This Week in Startups Australia
Author mpescePosted on Jevon Le Roux‘s startup Keeyu uses ‘agentic’ AI to revolutionise how online businesses work with their customers. The outcome of deep domain knowledge, Le Roux wants Keeyu to be a platform for the whole business – well beyond the sales channel. Can he get there? And what does it take to succeed an AI-centred startup?
Author mpescePosted on Pioneera‘s Danielle Owen Whitford and Tahnee Claeys wanted to find a way to alleviate workplace stress and burnout. Their solution, ‘Indi’, helps employees recognise stressful moments and situations – and offers guidance to them. TWISTA asks whether can managers integrate Pioneera to make workplaces more positive – and more productive? That’s why Pioneera is TWISTA’s tenth and final WORLDCHANGING startup of Series 10.

TWISTA visited Brisbane’s River City Labs two years ago – and my goodness, how much has changed. The new government has put nearly half a billion dollars into funding various startup activities – including a lavish new ‘Precinct’ for the startup community.
TWISTA talks to two residents of The Precinct, Anne-Marie Birkill, Managing Partner of OneVentures, then we catch up with one of the most mind-blowing startups we’ve ever had on this show, Maxwell MRI (now Maxwell Plus) co-founders Elliot Smith and Matt Brown. It’s all happening in Queensland, on this episode of TWISTA.
