About us

In its very name, East Connect, the essence of connection for small businesses truly comes alive. This isn’t just a networking group, it’s a vibrant, supportive community where every entrepreneur and professional is given a chance to shine.

Each member steps into the spotlight not merely to promote a business or service, but to share a personal story, a journey, and a vision for the future. These moments on stage spark conversations that go far beyond business cards and introductions,  they ignite genuine relationships built on trust, shared experiences, and collaboration.

We can’t recommend Anne enough! "Anne was professional, fun and engaging. Our wedding ceremony was perfect – all of our family and friends raved about how amazing she was and how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Without Anne, I don’t think our wedding would have been the same".

“Working with Martin has significantly enhanced my knowledge of investing and made the dream of retiring early achievable. His advice is clear and easy to understand, it is so reassuring to know that I have a trusted advisor to ask my many questions. Martin not only takes the time to answer them, but he provides tailored video explanations where an email may not be clear.”

"As a long-term tenant who has worked with several property management teams over the years – I have been super impressed by the SydneySlice Executive management Team. From the first contact with them, they were incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all of my questions and providing me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision about renting one of their properties. Once I moved in, they continued to be an invaluable resource, always available to address any concerns and quick to resolve any maintenance issues that arose."
