New Shark Tank <\/i>judge Glen Richards says startups are much more than just a good idea.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The founder and former chief executive of Australia\u2019s largest pet care companies Greencross will be a judge on the Channel Ten show to air next year, and spoke to fellow \u201cshark\u201d Steve Baxter about his background, what he wants to get out of the show, and his advice for Australian entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone thinks when they come up with a good idea that they\u2019re the next big thing,\u201d Richards says.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to put a lot of planning into going commercial, how you\u2019re going to fund it and the team you need to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the next season, Richards wants to find the next Atlassian or Seek.com.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here as an investor. I\u2019d love to find the one idea that can go exponential and be part of that person\u2019s journey,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat gives you so much joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
