Peter Liston and Matthew Moseley are business partners and worked side-by-side serving in Afghanistan as part of the Australian army. After hanging up their uniforms, both men found it very challenging to transition into corporate life and decided to have a go at entrepreneurship.
Since then, the duo have started 3x businesses, YourOra, a service providing ‘Virtual Assistants’ to businesses, CheckMate, a mentoring company aiming to reduce issues around mental health and SecureWindows, a company that installs child-proof windows into households.
