Mike Pond is a faith-driven entrepreneur, Olympic canoe coach, and 35-year veteran of the pet food industry. Guided by a deep commitment to integrity, stewardship, and service, Mike founded and grew Prime100 into one of Australia’s leading veterinary-recommended pet food companies. Under his leadership, the business became the nation’s second-largest sale of pet food company 

Mike sold a majority stake in Prime100 to Quadrant Private Equity at a valuation exceeding $100 million and later exited the business at a $500 million valuation. His approach rooted in discipline, innovation, and a servant leadership mindset delivered transformational growth across product, manufacturing, and retail.

Earlier in life, Mike coached elite paddlers to the Olympic level, applying the same principles of focus, resilience, and faith that would later underpin his business journey. Today, he mentors and invests in a new generation of pet food entrepreneurs, while also dedicating time to ministry, philanthropy, and kingdom-focused initiatives.

Through the MAP Foundation and Canu32, Mike is committed to building ventures that honour God, elevate others, and create long-term impact across sport, business, and community.
