Vaughan Fergusson (formerly Rowsell) is the founder of Vend, the Kiwi tech success. Last year he started the Institute of Awesome, based on a rambling 100-acre section and lodge overlooking the Tasman sea in Raglan. From here, Vaughan and partner Zoe Timbrell planned to run school camps that combine tech with sustainability and outdoor adventures. Covid has put all that on ice for now. But we know Vaughan has a plan. He does and it doesn’t involve billionaires.
