Notes de l'éditeur
- My background is in social enterprise and non-profit management
- Started working for Founder Centric. First week in the job was Pirate Summit
- Keynote speech, with a panel discussion
- The only female panelist: incredibly awkward position found it difficult after that to give her opinions, knowing that she’d been reduced to her looks.
- I’m not a techie – and I’m working in tech
- Said as if it’s a good thing
- Bad to make those assumptions
- E-Myth: Michael Gerber. Don’t agree with everything in the book: it’s a bit black and white
- All three work together to make a startup work
- I think there’s a balance to be struck here – obviously that person has to fit in the organisational culture. When I look at Tech North team, we all come from such varied backgrounds.
- For those of you in the room in a position to be recruiting
- Boys club of geeky techies
- You don’t need to make any special exemptions, but if you don’t broaden your search you’re missing out on a wealth of talented and skilled people
- Both are needed to attract diversity into tech
- Girls Who Code etc
- Need for role models.
- Makes it more
- Both are needed to attract diversity into tech

- Not a startup entrepreneur myself: FC hired me for my experience in bringing organisation to chaos. Tech North haven’t hired me because of my skills in ‘tech’ but because I am good at talking to people
- So long as you can build something or contribute in a useful manner, then the doors should be open to you.
- We are different from the corporate sector – we can change things, we can be a force for good in the world
