At 13, Liam Millward started a travel magazine from a caravan. At 17, he raised Australia's biggest pre-seed round ever. At 21, his company hit a $100 million valuation. From the Dinner Stories series: Meet Liam Millward, co-founder and CEO of Instant . Most founders wait until they're "ready." Liam started building businesses before most kids had their first job. While traveling Australia with his family in a caravan at 13, he launched Navigate Australia, a travel magazine that hit 50,000 monthly readers in its first year and partnered with 150+ tourism brands. Then COVID hit and killed the travel business overnight. Most teenagers would've given up. Liam pivoted to e-commerce, building a store that grew to $10K monthly revenue. But he kept running into the same frustrating problem: cart abandonment. Customers would add products, then disappear. He had no way to bring them back. That frustration became his next business. At 17, he teamed up with William Gao (a software engineer who'd been coding professionally since he was 17) and founded Instant to solve the problem every e-commerce brand faces—98% of visitors leave without buying, and most brands have no idea who they are. They raised $2.2 million in what became Australia's biggest pre-seed round ever. The pitch: Instant can identify up to 40% of anonymous website visitors and automatically trigger branded emails at the exact moment they abandon their cart. Within 12 months, they hit $1.5 million ARR and reached 1 million users. And earlier this year, they closed an $18 million Series A in under two weeks, hitting a $100 million valuation. At 21, Liam’s on his third business and already figured out what most founders spend decades learning: solve your own problem, move fast, and don't wait for permission.

We've LOVED working with July for quite some time now! They recently started using Instant AI, and this is what Lachi Agnew (their Head of technology) had to say. On the metrics side, pretty impressed to see Instant AI driving $16.61 per recipient on their abandoned checkout flow vs $14.62 with previous platforms. And better yet! Their email retention marketing was all done for them without any time investment from their team 🫡
