"Glad I didn’t miss Spike, Anton delivered beyond as expected" 😄
But in case you missed, here's a snippet for you: Fall in love with the problem, not the solution.
A few other hot takes if you feel FOMO:

- Sometimes your investors and support system will believe in you more than you believe in yourself.
Thank you to Anton Padmasiri who made the session stand out, discussing hiring, culture, sales, product decisions, and global ambition with a big goal - staying brutally clear on the problem you’re solving.
Thank you to everyone who joined and made the evening what it was. Thank you to our partners , .global , and for making this event possible.
