First Cut Ventures & Start-up War Stories Panel Discussion

Everyone knows the start-up success stories – how someone landed their biggest customer, received investment on the brink of bankruptcy and discovered a technology breakthrough. What we don’t often hear are the stories about when the S&^$ hit the fan, how the team reacted, and were stronger for it afterwards.

The panel will include:

• Ben Reid (Chairman of Canterbury Angels (http://canterburyangels.nz))

• Lucas Smith (Founder of Walkon (http://www.walkon.co.nz/))

• Taylor Howatson (Founder of Wireless Guard (https://wirelessguard.co.nz/))

Join us at Vodafone xone for drinks and pizza from 5.30pm before hearing their “Start-up War Stories” first hand!

We’ll wrap up the evening with free drinks and pizza =)
