When 40-year-old Mark Woodland sold his first software company, he briefly tried out life as a retiree, but when he couldn’t get a decade-old business idea out of his head, the Young Rich Lister decided to start the journey again from scratch.
The iPad had just been released when Mr Woodland, a former artillery gunner with the Australian army, dreamt up the idea for his new business, Kismet, which would use technology to improve services in the aged care and disability sectors.
The world has changed since 2010, and Mr Woodland decided the time was right to build online tools to reduce the administrative headaches for the ageing population and participants in the National Disability Insurance Scheme.“Education was ready. Aged care and disability was not.
Mr Woodland co-founded Kismet with four of his colleague from Xplor, Sam Armstrong, Stefan Cordiner, Lauren Grimes and Matt Ellis.
