The Business of Tech

From Halter to Supie: 14 years of startup wins and losses


Listen Later

We dive deep into the world of venture capital with Robbie Paul, managing director of Icehouse Ventures.

Paul looks back at the last 14 years to reflect on startup successes and failures and how NZ's VC landscape has evolved.

He also shares some killer lessons for entrepreneurs and investors, such as the value of people and the dangers of chasing trends.

Plus, Beam's scooter scandal, what Elon Musk's volatile behaviour could mean for Starlink in NZ, and AWS's entry into the satellite broadband market.
