Before joining Skalata, Maxine Lee ran Australia's first university-based accelerator, the Melbourne Accelerator Program, where she managed more than 50 startups and grew a Female Founders Meetup into a network of over 900 women across Victoria, and her hands-on approach shows in work like helping Choovie shift its business model to add three new revenue streams and grow its customer base from 20,000 to 2 million. That background in marketing, brand consulting, and advertising, combined with her seats on Skalata's Investment Committee and its Finance, Audit and Risk Management Committee, has helped build her reputation as honest and data-driven, earned her a spot on Forbes' 30 Under 30 Asia list, and stands behind 15 investments including NetNada, Deployable, TabLogs, Mindsets Learning, Bookbot, and Localised.
