#115 – Anthony Liveris (CEO, Proto Axiom): The CEO aiming to build Australia’s next CSL
Sweat CapitalShow Notes
This week on Sweat Capital, we welcome back Anthony Liveris, our first-ever returning guest – and for good reason.
Anthony is the CEO of Proto Axiom, Australia’s first company creation and investment platform for the life sciences, and someone who’s shaping the direction of the industry in real time.
In this episode, we explore why the life sciences industry is poised to become Australia’s breakout industry, the momentum Anthony is seeing across research, capital formation and talent, and how Proto Axiom has evolved since we last spoke. From scientific breakthroughs to commercialisation pathways, Anthony lays out the structural advantages Australia has - and what needs to happen next to compete globally.
We also explore what life is actually like as a young CEO operating in a field defined by long timelines, high uncertainty and massive upside.
If you’re interested in the future of frontier science, investing in uncertainty, or building high-conviction companies from the ground up, this should be a great listen.
