Ex-AFL player and Macquarie Bank employee team up to launch site selling study notes online

A FORMER AFL player turned Bond University graduate and a Macquarie Bank employee are punting on new careers as entrepreneurs with a business selling university students’ notes online.
Nexus Notes was created by Hugh Minson, 26, and Richard Hordern-Gibbings, 25, who took an idea tossed around at university and have turned it into a business now used by 16 universities in Australia and New Zealand.
The younger brother of all Australian and Western Bulldogs star ruckman Will Minson, Hugh was drafted by Port Adelaide in 2005.

Groomed as a ruckman, his hopes of winning a premiership for Port were dashed when he was forced to retire due to injury.
“I had a bad left knee and chronic arthritis so retired on doctor’s advice and ended up studying entrepreneurship at Bond University,” Minson said.
Hordern-Gibbings graduated with a commerce degree from Adelaide University and is now a Macquarie Bank employee.
Nexus Notes was born out of the pair’s frustration while studying at the lack of access to high-quality study materials.
“We thought, surely there is a way to monetise this idea,” Minson said.
The notes, which can be previewed online, are sold for $35, with the student pocketing half the sale price. While still in its infancy, some cash-strapped students have used the site to earn up to $2000 by uploading their notes.
Nexus Notes offers notes only from students who have received a high distinction or distinction in their subject and vets all notes before sale.
“We actually disapprove a lot of notes if they are not top quality,” Minson said.
The pair admit eyebrows may be raised by academics concerned at notes from their lectures being traded in an online marketplace.
“This is not cheating, we are not selling assignments, all we are doing is providing another resource to enrich students’ learning experience and provide high achievers with an easy way to earn extra cash,” Minson said.
“This is something that is starting to take off all over the world, including at top institutions such as Oxford and Cambridge.”
He said the service has been vetted by lawyers and did not breach copyright or intellectual property laws as long as the students had written the notes themselves.
Nexus Notes also allows uploaders to donate a percentage of their earnings to the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME).
The pair employ student brand managers at each campus to source quality content from students - so far they have 17 on board with plans to recruit more.
“With 50 universities throughout Australia and New Zealand, our main focus is to perfect that model before we expand out of our garage and overseas,” Minson said.
Bond University’s Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship Baden U’Ren praised the pair for taking the entrepreneurial skills learned at university and putting them into practice.
“Students have been trading notes since universities existed, all they are doing is monetising it and turning a brilliant idea into a highly saleable business,” he said.

Of course!
Full name could be Richard James Hordern-Gibbings, but I'm not sure!
A 2006 SACE graduate (SA version of VCE, HSC) by this name was a "merit student" in the subject of English Communications (level 2 English, below English Studies). With him being quoted as 25 in an article from this year, that'd put him at 17/18 ... which sounds right for Year 12.

So we know he used/sells other (smart) peoples uni notes. How does this make him a brain? There are other uni grads already in the house, why is he singled out? Is it because he has a hyphenated name and he wears glasses? (Because we all know that wearing glasses makes you instantly clever). Are they justifying that description with any kind of evidence?
