Editor Note: This is the second in a multiple-part series of interviews with Craig Wright, conducted by guest columnist Eli Afram, where he discusses some of his project work.

In discussion, I mentioned to Craig that he’s well known for being an entrepreneur who takes on many projects, when he jumped in to expand:

“I am an entrepreneur. I am proud to be one. I am proud of every one of my failures. I took a company to listing on the Australian stock exchange through backdoor listing in 1999. I was 29 years of age. When the tech crash occurred, the investors dumped the company and I bought back the fragments and made it operational again.”

“Since then, other companies that have failed at one stage in my life, back in 2010, I was tens of millions of dollars in debt. I could give up and say that’s a failure. But I won’t!”
