Meet the White Sky x One of One Entrepreneurs Award winner

We're delighted to announce that Shari Hindmarsh, Founder and Director at Great Company Collective, is the 2026 White Sky x One of One Entrepreneurs Award recipient.

‍

On what the award means to her, Shari said, “Receiving this award means more to me than I can fully put into words. Everything I've built so far has come from sheer determination, and to have that work recognised and backed by White Sky and One of One is incredibly meaningful.”

‍

Looking ahead to working with White Sky, Shari added, "Having advisors who genuinely understand this stage of a music business means GCC can start saying yes to the artists, brands, and partnerships we've previously had to turn away."

‍

Tom Harris, White Sky Managing Director, said, “What impressed us most with Shari's application was her commercial thinking and clear vision. She's built real business momentum over six years, and she knows exactly where Great Company Collective is headed. I'm excited for White Sky to come on board and help her get there.”

‍

On what One of One’s support means to her, Shari shared “It means I'm not building this alone, and that kind of backing changes what feels possible."

‍

Each year, the White Sky x One of One Entrepreneurs Award gives one emerging female or non-binary founder in the Australian music industry $10,000 in business support and advisory services. Keep an eye on our socials for the 2027 award announcement.

Congratulations Shari, we can't wait to see what you build next.
