The Real Cost of Building a Tech Business in Australia

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Nigel opens up for the very first time about the true cost of running a tech startup in Perth. He takes us behind the curtain of his failures, the struggles that almost broke him, and the resilience that kept him moving—from Nigeria to Singapore, and finally, Australia. But this story isn’t just about business. Nigel shares the deeply personal side of his journey: the challenges of raising a family while chasing big dreams, and the unforgettable moment when his daughter Andre stepped onto the stage of Australian Idol. We dive into the lessons of starting over after failure, the importance of choosing the right co-founder, and how he’s shaping his vision for the future. It’s an honest look at entrepreneurship, parenting, and the grit required to build a life across continents. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to balance family, creativity, and the high stakes of entrepreneurship, this episode will inspire you to keep building—no matter where you’re starting from.
