CEO ZoomSystems. Founded @StartupBus, @StartupHouse • Worked at @CRV, @Vast, @PwC
Bootstrapped a business that made close to a million in revenue as a foreigner that knew nobody in two years, through multiple revenue streams by 2012. Then nearly lost it all 2013. And survived.
Describe the most impressive thing you've done.The Starfish and the Spider: gave me perspective that led to how I built StartupBus into the community it is.
The Happiness Hypothesis.
Hiring more people for my startup. Hiring people to work on all my ideas, even non-monetisable ones. Making music.

It was 4pm. My work was holding up the audit opinion on a listed client & I realised that I would have to start all over again, at least a week's worth of work. I rethought it and at 7pm I went home and my work was signed off the next day by my boss.
Elon Musk: For his vision. And balls.
My energy and by extension how that impacts people around me.
Through someone I already know. If you cold email me, I might miss it but you can try.
