According to early stage investor Jon Tanner, it takes a village for a startup to scaleup. Talent, distribution and capital are three key levers. But, as his partner and co-founder of Codec Ventures Jason Senn points out, localisation and business culture play a huge role too.   In this episode, Blair speaks to Jason and Jon about what it takes to successfully commercialise IP, particularly during a time when work is 100% online. They reflect on times when face-to-face meetings were key, versus the current environment where your computer screen is the new global border. They also look at what this specifically means for the APAC market, and what current opportunities exist around security, robotics, automation and AI.   CREDITS  Host: Blair Crawford, Co-founder and Managing Director, Daltrey  Guests: Jonathan Tanner, Group CEO & Managing Partner, MitchelLake Group  Jason Senn, co-founder Codec Ventures  Producer: Dan McHugh  WANT MORE IDENTITY NEWS?  Read our blog and subscribe to our newsletter  www.daltrey.com.au/blog/  Follow us on LinkedIn  www.linkedin.com/company/daltrey/  Follow us on Twitter  #IdentityToday  twitter.com/DaltreyID  LET’S CHAT  If you have press inquiries, a listener question or want to be a guest on the show, email us at  [email protected]
