David Gill & Jessica Holmes

Founders - Daylesford Brewing Co & Wentworth House

“Putting the Ale back into Daylesford" are the guiding words that Daylesford Brewing Co.'s founders Dave Gill and Jessica Holmes aim to follow. Established in 2014 by the pair and driven by their individual passions, they sought a lifestyle change back to Jessica's home town of Daylesford in the heart of the Macedon Ranges infamous spa country to do exactly that. With their backgrounds in environmental science and design, a brand of craft beer has been created that reflects upon and remembers the rich era of beer drinking and brewing during the 1800's gold rush period. Come and hear from the pair about their journey starting a business in a location they love – doing what they love!

Event Recap:

Our sixth FoundX event in Dunedin was another fantastic night! Innov8HQ was buzzing with 180 people eager to hear what Simeon Burnett from Snowball Effect has to say about his successful journey as a startup. We also has two startups pitching; UBCO - Utility Electric Vehicles and CHAPTER2 Bikes. Both did an excellent job and set a really high bar for future FoundX pitches! A big thank you to our sponsors and partners of the event - 2degrees NZ and Start-Up Dunedin for making this vibrant and passionate event happen. We are looking forward to seeing you in May again, Dunedin!
