Mark Murray

Australian Entrepreneur, Survivor of TV's Shark Tank, and Creator Behind Over 60 Startups.

Mark’s entrepreneurial journey began at just 13, cleaning windows around his neighbourhood. Now 61, he’s still going strong, having built multiple successful ventures—with more on the horizon. A high school dropout turned award-winning innovator, Mark was recognised with the Australian Government’s Innovators Award and is the mind behind one of the world’s most viral marketing campaigns: the Hamdog. With a rare ability to turn ideas into seven-figure businesses from the ground up, Mark takes concepts from sketchpad to launch with relentless drive and proven results.

On Shark Tank, a Shark took 50% of the Hamdog for $2. It went on to go viral around the world.

I've been building businesses since I was 13. More than 60 start-ups later, including MagTag®, now Australia's most popular tracker after AirTag, I know what it takes to turn an idea into a business that makes real money, and one that's worth buying when the time comes.

Business isn't work to me. It's what I love doing, and it's given me the freedom to live life on my terms. Now I want to help the next generation of founders get there.

If you've got a business with real potential, I'll back it with my own money and work alongside you to grow it. Branding, marketing, product, e-commerce, the lot. You keep every share.

Applications are open. Email me with your idea, where you're at and what you need, and let's see if you're my next Small Fish.

Small business, big life.

Current Projects

Mark's current projects are diverse, all centered around the e-commerce space. His success in e-commerce is driven by his exceptional branding and marketing skills. While he advocates for "small business, big life" because he believes that success is meaningless without a fulfilling life, he focuses on small businesses that generate substantial profits.
