On Monday we published <\/i><\/b>part one<\/i><\/b><\/a> of this article, concerning what a scaleup company is and why they matter. Today we conclude by looking at what they need. By Brent Balinski.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There are 25,000 tonnes of wet wipes thrown out by Australians every year, all made of polyester or polypropylene and therefore non-biodegradable, and almost entirely imported, according to Phil Scardigno\u2019s market research.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hygiene Co., the company Scardigno co-founded, has been in fully-automated production for only half a year and is focussed on a solution to a clear problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The<\/span> 27-employee <\/span>business is Australia\u2019s lone maker of a plastic-free alternative \u2013 currently sold through Chemist Warehouse, Foodland, and some OEM and hospital tender deals \u2013 and has been bootstrapped by Scardigno and business partner <\/span>Corey White. It recently earned a place on this title’s Australia’s 50 most innovative manufacturers<\/a> list, published last month.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There are no plans to seek investors to expand at this point, but Scardigno is pretty clear on what you\u2019d need to win them over.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we were in a situation where you had to go and raise capital, I think the key is to have something that’s innovative and unique,\u201d he tells <\/span>@AuManufacturing<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

\u201cParticularly for Australian manufacturing; you\u2019re not going to compete on commodities and trying to out-cheap the Chinese… You need to have that point of difference. And for us the sustainability part is the big part.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Venture capital backing <\/span>has improved vastly over the last decade<\/span><\/a>, but few startup manufacturers would say raising is easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plant-based ingredient company Harvest B was founded in 2020 and managed a $3.5 million seed round in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked about what they have done right in attracting backers so far, co-founder and CEO Kristi Riordan is quick to preface an answer with, \u201cIt’s hard in manufacturing, it’s hard in Australia and it’s hard in the current climate. I don’t think anybody should go around suggesting otherwise.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Venture investors are far less familiar with manufacturing than they are with software. But in the early days, you\u2019d probably have to look to local venture capital, with banks and private equity unlikely to be supportive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs you get going, you have more choices in where you get access to capital. You can get access outside of Australia, where you’ve got more diversity in investors,\u201d Riordan tells <\/span>@AuManufacturing<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou’ve got, I would say, more risk-tolerant investors as well. Very different opportunities, once you get a base of activity. I can imagine our next round of funding will include\u2026 capital that is outside of Australia.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides understanding a capital strategy, it also helps if you can tell the company\u2019s story and have a team assembled that could credibly deliver against it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an investible company\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Gilmour Space Technologies is currently in the middle of an investor round, co-founder and CEO Adam Gilmour tells us when we speak in mid-July.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company, which aims to launch an orbital rocket by the end of the year, <\/span>raised<\/span><\/a> $5 million in a 2017 Series A round, $19 million the following year in a Series B, and $61 million in a 2021 Series C.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gilmour says that VCs are not very interested in companies promising incremental growth, and that manufacturers need to pick a market with significant demand and be making high-value products if they want to impress them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you go to an investor and you say, \u2018I’m going to make $20 million next year and $23 million a year after and in ten years I\u2019ll make $40 million,\u2019 they don’t really care,\u201d explains Gilmour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut if you say, \u2018I’ll make $20 million this year and in three years I’ll make $200 million, and then in ten years I\u2019ll make $1,000,000,000, that’s what they care about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo what does that mean in terms of a market? If you’re selling something that’s $1,000,000 a pop, and you sell a thousand of them, and they really do see a market for a thousand of them, or there’s a market for 20,000 and you’re going to be 5 per cent of the market: that’s an investible company.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What else is needed to grow companies with international relevance, besides a point of difference, a story to tell and a shot at a lucrative market?<\/span><\/p>\n

The topic of an ecosystem is another answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commercialisation of more IP developed locally is something Breakthrough Victoria would like to see, explains CEO Grant Dooley.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>There is no one single answer though, it\u2019s about taking a collaborative and ecosystem-wide approach,\u201d he tells <\/span>@AuManufacturing.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes better collaboration between not only business and research organisations but also between businesses themselves which will help manufacturers grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe also need to manufacture with a global market in mind, utilising Industry 4.0 technologies to enable an increase in competitiveness through not only operational improvement but also a focus on the high-value parts of the manufacturing supply chain, such as R&D, design and service provision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Where government might have a role<\/b><\/p>\n

Riordan also cites the importance of an ecosystem, with entrepreneurs, financiers, and focus from government on areas of national importance, for example around job creation, supply chain security, or environmental benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome people say we need to kingpin people, right? We need to actually support, invest and engage in someone who can win,\u201d she explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think some of that is coming from government investment and saying \u2018we’re going to pick some industries where we’re going to put our finger on the scale and say these are strategic to Australia and we are going to encourage them, help them to succeed.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

\u201cYou know, the National Reconstruction Fund offering access to scaleup capital, low interest rate loans \u2013 those are critically important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Scardigno believes that there\u2019s an appetite from the public for Australian Made products, but not from government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you had government departments buying Australian made, federal, state and local, then you’re not spending those marketing dollars to compete to get your product into the hands of end users,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think there\u2019s enough done in that procurement field. There’s a lot of talk of it, but a lot of the time it\u2019s rhetoric, I think.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Companies <\/span>sometimes make the case<\/span><\/a> for governments to step up as a first customer of new technologies, with this validation something they can use in their pitches to potential overseas clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gilmour offers that there\u2019s an inferiority complex problem, not among startups but among governments, and some boldness is needed in giving promising new high-tech companies a go.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s this chicken and egg thing where the government says, \u2018Oh, I want to buy a new whatever. I want reliability and sustainability, and I can\u2019t see that in Australia. So I buy it from overseas,\u2019” he shares.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd every time they make that decision, they’re taking away the opportunity for an Australian company to step up and be that reliable supplier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
