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 for our 11 January #xsss:

So… what does it take to start, run & grow a technology company in Wellington?

Following on from Rowan Simpson’s Startup Lessons, we’ll hear from 2 other successful Wellington tech entrepreneurs, sharing wisdom and learning about how to execute a great idea, how to get it from the garage to the market, and what the key ingredients are to building a successful enterprise in Wellington, NZ.

Melissa Clark-Reynolds is the founder of minimonos.com, a virtual world for children focused on growing good kids, not good consumers. In December minimonos had over 60,000 kids registered in its beta. Melissa has a string of entrepreneurial experiences (including being CEO of 2 other software companies and selling her first company to Southern Cross). She has raised capital for minimonos in Wellington, and loves living here.

Dave Moskovitz is an experienced entrepreneur turned angel investor, having co-founded one of Wellington’s early web development companies, and taken it from the garage to strategic trade sale. He’s part of the Webfund team, and leads the board of MusicHy.pe. Dave is a great communicator and collaborator who brings out the best in the teams he works with, as well as a dab hand at coding and general sysadmin geekery. He’s been a member of the Institute of Directors since 2002, and believes good governance is central to building strategic value.
