Last night, in collaboration with Powrsuit, we hosted a leaders’ edition of Careers of the Future, with a panel discussion for aspiring and current leaders of high-performance startup teams.

Thanks to Joshua Nu’u-Steele (Ideally), Aimee Crooks (Mint Innovation), Asantha Wijeyeratne QSM (PaySauce), and Laura Weir (Tracksuit) for sharing their invaluable insights with the crowd!

Here’s a snippet:
▪️ Follow the thing that makes you light up when you speak about it. That’s the career path you should follow!
▪️ Hire the person, not the experience or qualification. It’s the person that matters more than anything else.
▪️ It is important to create a vulnerability based space to drive a high-performing culture. People will open up more to you and it enables you to build a positive environment.
▪️ If you look around your office, and everyone looks like you and thinks like you, it’s a sign that your hiring strategy is wrong.
▪️ Key traits to look for when hiring are empathy, a growth mindset, innate curiosity, and energy.

Thanks Kristen Lunman and Natalie Ferguson, and all who attended!

Christchurch turned up in full swing last Friday for the Startup Block Party!

A massive thank you to the community for bringing the energy, and to Levi Fawcett for sharing his journey from high school ventures to learning the power of huge ambition at Rocket Lab, and now leading the world-class team at Partly.

Also, thank you to Levi, Nathan, Eileen, and the team at Partly for letting us take over their beautiful new space in the CBD.

What a community - we might have to make this a regular thing… 🥳

In this month’s Startup Blueprint, hear from the co-founders of Ideally, James Donald, Brendan Cervin, and Joshua Nu’u-Steele.

Ideally are an on-demand insights platform that allows clients to rapidly test concepts, ideas and messages with their target audience and receive robust answers overnight, all at a fraction of the usual cost of conventional methods.

Last year they went from launch to raise within two months, and have since kept up the pace, scaling impressively fast. They’ve brought on over 100 clients, expanded across the ditch, and landed some of Australasia’s leading consumer brands, such as Asahi Beverages and Goodman Fielder, and they’re just warming up.

In this interview, they delve into:
▪️ The power of a clearly defined value proposition and distinctive brand from day dot
▪️ Leveraging lessons and experiences from successful careers in tech
▪️ Their philosophy on attracting exceptional talent whilst scaling rapidly
▪️ How they’re using AI to further fuel their point of difference, and
▪️ The breadth of ideas being tested through their platform, from exploratory generational research, and their own brand positioning, to Tegal’s new chicken nuggets.
