Hi I'm Josh, I'm a 90's born Australian entrepreneur from Perth, Western Australia.

I have an enormous passion for tennis and used to have the dreams of some day going pro, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. My weight use to be a really BIG issue for me and being obese hindered my playing ability a lot! But you're probably looking at my picture and thinking "hold on a second... he doesn't look overweight?!" and thanks for noticing. At 17 I realised the direction my life was heading down and decided to make a change and headed in the direction of the closest gym and worked my butt off... literally! I lost 40kg (88lbs for any American readers) and also had plastic surgery to remove 2.5kg of loose skin... And in case you're wondering... Yes it hurt like hell, but so worth it!

Anyway, throughout that time I continued my love of tennis and was a Tennis Coach for several years teaching at many different clubs and academies. I taught all types of standards and ages, and even did some international travelling with an elite player to China... Very interesting experience!

In 2013 I stopped coaching tennis and started a tech company called Tiinkk. After making mistakes and learning a lot! Tiinkk has changed and pivoted into a collaborative network that incentivises users to influence and interact with their favorite brands & celebrities. I've since left Perth and have spent the better half of 2015 travelling Europe and America expanding my team.

Our goal and focus is to raise our next funding round and set up an office in America, either San Fran or NYC and also one in Zagreb, Croatia.
