Andy Higgins is the founder of bidorbuy. In this episode, we look back to the company's first near-death experience back in 2000 when the dot com bubble burst.
Andy's story is a tech rollercoaster spanning two decades, 40 investors, a billion dollar pseudo-valuations, fast hiring and a slow but steady internet bubble bursting.
The tech decline that Andy found himself in the middle of came with retrenchments, personal turmoil, a study break and a slow march towards profitability thanks to Google gaining traction and South Africa emerging from the Internet Dark Ages of the Internet when people were paying per minute to be online.
