Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

watched a founder raise $360M and shut it down ~ Phaedon Stough
Q: What was the turning point that pushed you to build Innovation Bay after exiting the initial venture?
Seeing the need for a supportive founder network in Sydney led to informal gatherings that evolved into a formal community, with a focus on shared learning and mentorship rather than selling, which later expanded to three core communities.
watched a founder raise $360M and shut it down ~ Phaedon Stough
Q: When did you realize you were faking it till you were making it, and how did that shape your approach to growth?
He recalls wearing multiple hats as a founder, learning on the fly, and recognizing that slower, more deliberate growth would have been wiser, which influenced later moves toward more sustainable scaling and better collaboration.
He Bet His Life Savings on Limoncello and Its Working ~ Stefan Di Benedetto
Q: What is the long-term vision for Solbevi, and what would it take to reach it?
The goal is to sit next to major brands like Aperol/Campari in venues worldwide, grow with a scalable two-product model, and potentially partner with a larger company to accelerate distribution and marketing; this requires sustained investment and strategic collaboration.
He Bet His Life Savings on Limoncello and Its Working ~ Stefan Di Benedetto
Q: How do you describe the journey with your co-founder, Darcy, and how did the leadership transition happen?
Darcy began as a co-founder with a successful construction background; over time he moved into a background role as Stefan took on the day-to-day leadership, with Darcy remaining a trusted ally and adviser.
He Bet His Life Savings on Limoncello and Its Working ~ Stefan Di Benedetto
Q: How did you handle fundraising and investor relations during the tough years?
