We’d love to see you at our summer seminars, supporting & developing & connecting the top talent of Wellington and the top employers of Wellington. Here’s the details on our 2nd #xsss: 

STARTUP LESSONS

Rowan Simpson will explain why many of the things that you think you know about what it takes to start and grow a technology company are wrong, why most of the successful companies and entrepreneurs that you read about in the media can’t teach you much about your startup, and some of the counterintuitive lessons that you should be paying attention to as you try and get a new idea off the ground.

Rowan was a founding team member at Trade Me, running the development and product teams there at various stages between 2000 and 2007, an early investor and employee at Xero and most recently a co-founder of Wellington-based software studio Southgate Labs, where he is an an investor and advisor to a number of early-stage tech companies including Vend, Fishpond, Sonar6 and Valuecruncher.
