Thumbs-up, Coffee, Pyjamas, and Rabbit Holes: our Summer Internship Program
Compared to other tech companies, we have a relatively small (well, tiny) team to be taking on summer interns. But we felt it would be a valuable learning experience, both for our intern/s and for us.
This summer, we offered our first ever internship program. We now introduce our interns and hear a little bit about their experiences over the past 8 weeks.

Three65 Underwear Subscription: Never Run Out of Clean Undies Again
Some of the best candidates for subscription products are day-to-day necessities, like toothbrushes, toilet paper, and pet food. These items might not be the most exciting, but all (or most) of us need them on a regular basis.

But getting to the shops to buy them can be a hassle and expensive. Inspired by Dollar Shave Club, Will decided to launch Three65, an underwear subscription service for men.
In this interview, Will reflects on the story behind Three65, his experience pitching the business on Shark Tank Australia, and some of the challenges he’s faced.
