Our Team

Mate of Mine was founded by Dane Westerweller from Sydney Australia.

My focus was creating; refining, reengineering & optimising a new customer service channel that was once only possible by word of mouth marketing.

Our goal was to develop an online business directory that turns standard business listings into social experiences that will resonate with friends, influence the local community and facilitates small business networking.
