# THE JUSTIN KAN STORY

When I told the audience Justin just sold his last business for $900 Million, he corrected me and said "970" with a smile. He was a laid back guy worthy of Australian citizenship and far from the hard nosed venture capitalist and entrepreneur you may expect in an individual with a net worth over $1 Billion.

Justin Kan was in town for the Above All Human Conference in December and I was lucky enough to spend some time with him. Not only did he give up his valuable time to let us have a chat, he was happy to stay around and give advice to local startups - [Aston Club](http://astonclub.com.au/?ref=startupmelbourne.com), [Bluedot](http://www.bluedotinnovation.com/?ref=startupmelbourne.com), **IMERSO VRE,** and [Foogi.me](http://Foogi.me) at [Queens Collective](http://www.queenscollective.com.au/?ref=startupmelbourne.com).

As for the story...I won't ruin it watch the video!
