Andrew James Sackl, professionally known as James Sackl, is an Australian entrepreneur, founder and writer based in Melbourne, Victoria. He founded Wallace Biotechnologies and Terraform Technologies and publishes essays, podcasts and videos under the Golden Age banner.[1]
Sackl entered business in 2007 when he established Young Media at the age of 21. The company operated as a classified advertising platform aimed at Gen Y consumers and local businesses. His later commercial activities included property, recruitment, migration services, restaurants and other ventures before his work expanded into technology and biotechnology.[2]
Early life and Young Media
Sackl was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. His published biography states that he later left home, worked various jobs and began his first business shortly after completing school.[3]
In 2007, when he was 21, Sackl launched Young Media. He approached local businesses directly and obtained advertising commitments before the website had been built. The advance revenue was then used to finance the development of the platform. Young Media subsequently expanded into other Australian cities before the business was sold.[4]
Business career
Following the sale of Young Media, Sackl states that he used the proceeds for property investments and housing developments. He subsequently entered the recruitment sector, placing candidates through his businesses, and later expanded into migration services. His biography also records involvement with restaurants and other businesses.[5]
Between October 2013 and December 2018, Sackl served as a director of five companies: Dash Technologies Pty Ltd, Ad Astra Institute Pty Ltd, Karma3 Upcycling Pty Ltd, Sino Resources Group (Aust) Pty Ltd and Universal Personnel Pty Ltd.
ASIC stated that the companies operated in sectors including software development, vocational education, animal-feed production, migration services and employment services.
Agriculture
Sackl was involved in cattle production at Blue Lake Station in South Australia together with Michael Famularo. In 2017, Blue Lake Station received the South Australian Most Outstanding Beef Producer award at the Meat Standards Australia Excellence in Eating Quality Awards.[6]
The recognition was part of the Meat Standards Australia Excellence in Eating Quality Awards, a program associated with producers and businesses participating in the MSA program and contributing to meat eating quality.[7]
COVID-19 testing business
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sackl became involved in diagnostic testing products. According to his own account, his business initially secured distribution rights for an antibody test kit and subsequently developed an integrated testing pen intended for SARS-CoV-2 testing.[8]
Sackl states that the original cassette-style product was redesigned into a pen-shaped testing device incorporating the buffer fluid into its cap. He also states that the business entered into a supply agreement in 2021 and recorded approximately A$130 million in sales during 2021 and 2022.[9]
The A$130 million sales figure is reported by Sackl on his own website and is therefore presented as a figure attributed to him rather than as an independently verified financial result.
