In this episode of the Brighter Futures Youth Podcast, I sit down with Niki Scevak — Co-Founder of Blackbird Ventures and Startmate, and early investor behind some of Australia's most iconic startups, including Canva and SafetyCulture. Niki shares his journey from launching his own startups to backing founders with billion-dollar potential, and the powerful mindset shifts young people need to turn ideas into impact.
We unpack what separates a good founder from a great one, how to take risks when the path isn't clear, and why Niki chooses to back the "hungry, not the proven." Whether you're dreaming of your first startup, or just want to think bigger about your future, this episode is packed with real-world advice, honest stories, and inspiration to get you started.
