Last week our CEO Cheryl Mack had an incredible few days at the Airtree CEO Summit 2025 — surrounded by founders, investors, and a whole lot of adventure. From jet boating across lakes, braving (wild!) weather, late-night chats 🍸 , early morning hikes 🥾 , and even a few courageous leaps off bridges (👀) — it wasn’t your typical conference... and...the shared belief that building something great is hard — but doing it alongside great people makes it all worth it. Thanks to AirTree for bringing such a great group together. At Aussie Angels we are focused and ready for what's next. 🇦🇺 Let’s gooo. #investing #angelinvesting #venturecapital #startupaus
