Asia Tech Podcast

The Asia Tech Podcast caught up with Alan Jones, a self-proclaimed Startup Founder Coach (and a very good one at that!) and one of the earliest supporters of the startup ecosystem in Australia.  I always enjoy talking to Alan because he is so thoughtful and filled with insights gained over years of experience. We had a wide-ranging discussion about life, experience, growth, tech, startups and how the pandemic changed the way we both looked at the world and the future.  We mixed in a bit of politics, because we simply can not discount the impact that it was having across the board. We also discussed how 2020 was a year like no other and how Alan had to make the difficult but sensible decision to put M8 Ventures on pause.

We talked about: How the founders’ career journeys led them to a deep understanding of the Diversity and Inclusion space. Why a lack of workplace diversity is not always the problem Diversely.io is trying to solve. How these incredible founders have raised money and gained traction pre-product during the COVID-19 pandemic. --- Asia Tech Podcast is powered by Podcast Network Asia.
