Age: 30
Company: Smartpath
Sector: Information Technology
Smartpath co-founder Owen Batt and business partner David Hodges built a business by finding something that its clients hated doing.
The company designs products to help companies organise their assets in easy-to-access databases. It has branched out into the cloud computing sector, with many of its programs now offered as "software-as-a-service".
The firm's clients include Fuji Xerox, AMP, Qantas and several hospitals. It says competing with larger rivals such as IBM puts pressure on it to keep promoting its brand during the downturn.
The company says it will continue to work on offering SMEs cheaper SaaS solutions. It recorded $1.84 million in revenue during 2007-08, and expects $2.5 for the current year.
