Innovation is crucial for productivity
“Innovation is about combining a desire for improvement with creativity,“ said Vinita.
“It's about continually striving to make things better and faster, resulting in meaningful impact. In Australia, innovation is crucial for addressing productivity challenges, and the government, corporates and institutions are actively investing in this thriving ecosystem.”
Why a supportive community matters
Stone & Chalk provides a supportive community where highs and lows are shared, ensuring that no one feels alone on their entrepreneurial journey.
“Entrepreneurs and founders need a pre-vetted, curated marketplace to connect with potential buyers interested in their solutions,“ said Vinita.
“Stone and Chalk provides this vital ecosystem, offering access to investors, mentors and peer support. A typical week or a month for a startup has many highs and lows. Even on our most challenging day, it's nice to come to Stone & Chalk and know there are others around who can identify with my situation. On a personal level, I never feel alone for that reason while I'm here.”
Vinita resonates deeply with Stone and Chalk's ethos that we’re not for you if you strive for commercial success at any cost.
“Our journey with Stone and Chalk is more than just commercial success. It's about solving real, meaningful problems and making a positive impact. Yes, there's a commercial success element to what we do, but our ideas and our thinking around helping organisations translate their operations into servicing their customers better … It's about improving things for people and society at large."
“Lately, a lot of our clients are from the not-for-profit sector and we've found this work really rewarding, especially because they're servicing people who need disability or community support services. We strive for social success through innovation.”
