New Documentary Reveals What It Takes To Build A Tech Unicorn

The Founder premiere held in Sydney

Explore the unique stories of four Australian startups in the newly released docuseries Founder, which delves into the minds of the people behind Canva, Brighte, Finder, and SafetyCulture. SafetyCulture is the world's most popular workplace operations platform for frontline workers, which has offices here in Manchester as well as Kansas City, Sydney, Amsterdam, and Manilla.   

It was all smiles at the Founder premiere screening. L-R: Luke Anear (SafetyCulture), Melanie Perkins and Cliff Oberecht (Canva), and Rick Baker (Blackbird Ventures).

From today, Founder is available to stream on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Google Play. The docuseries explores how four entrepreneurs’ blend of naivety, purpose, and unrelenting grit ultimately beat out the looming fear of failure. It’s a glimpse into the lives of successful startup founders, and their families, and the sacrifices they made on the journey to achieving global tech success.


An overnight success is what these companies look like from the outside, but founder Luke Anear had 18 different jobs before he started SafetyCulture. The family sacrifices and personal toll are heavy. In this episode, Luke gives a raw reflection on the lonely, all-consuming journey of a tech founder and what it means to push yourself and everyone you love to breaking point. From a humble garage in North Queensland, SafetyCulture has become the world’s most-used workplace operations platform for frontline workers.
