Indie Hackers #44 - Daisy Ions

SPECIAL EVENT!
This meetup is a little different. We're privileged to have Daisy Ions join us for a fireside chat!

Daisy founded Whats On In Cape Town back in 2008. She succeeded in the events aggregation space where sooo many other startups failed. Since then, she's gone onto found Whats On In Joburg and Scene It.

Daisy is a non-technical founder who beat the odds and built a much-loved brand. As tech becomes increasingly accessible to everyone, the true differentiators won't be tech for much longer. Success will hinge upon the ability to address genuine problems, maintain unwavering resilience in adversity, and persistently move forward.

She's a wonderful, kind, and wise person. We could all learn from her. We're incredibly grateful to have Daisy join us!
