Mr Kingston expressed that the networking world has been blotched due to the certain wringing usage on it as if it is always taking something from people. The focus should be on giving in terms of advice, opinions and introductions.

A recent visit to San Francisco for a brief visit to a list of the outstanding tech superstars and start-ups location wise with an intention to introduce international funders to American deals. Starting the tour with dropping by the big analytic firm called Palantir, tagged as a highly strict and top-secret business.

Palantir does not allow easy visitations on their facility, the company is famous for cooperating with the U.S. government in hunting whereabouts of Osama bin Laden. Palantir stays committed to helping enhance defence groups internationally.

“It’s hard to believe that we’d be able to access these companies, but we don’t want to draw attention to the wrong thing. All of our public communication is around trying to help the Australian ecosystem and trying to provide some thought leadership. A lot of people struggle to understand why we don’t talk about our portfolio.” Mr Kingston stated.
