Creating Synergy Podcast

#89 - Anton Andreacchio, founder of Convergen Group, Co-founder of Jumpgate, and Serial Prominent Board Member


Listen Later

New episode in #CreatingSynergyPodcast with Anton Andreacchio who owns five companies and is on six prominent Adelaide boards. But here’s what you probably don’t know about him: 

  1. He founded his first company, the Convergen Group, at the age of 22, which has become one of Australia’s leading companies in infrastructure visualisation. 
  2. His second company Jumpgate was ridiculed, until it became the “next big thing”.
  3. He says entrepreneurs should ask themselves three simple questions when evaluating their ideas, "Do you have an idea? Do you believe it'll work? Are you willing to go after it?" 
  4. He believes we spend too much time on the 'theatre' of entrepreneurship (and what we should be focussed on instead). 
  5. He actively removes himself from projects and the mental models he uses to manage five separate businesses and six board roles.
  6. As the Chair of the Adelaide Film Festival, he’s obsessed with storytelling, the commercialisation of creative industries,  and thinks most South Australians don’t understand our reputation in this space.  


There's a reason Anton has been so successful and is on so many boards, including the South Australian Entrepreneurship Advisory Board; he’s refreshingly wise and is all about creating value. 

Get Anton into your ears now!
