Toby Littin features this week’s episode to talk about the global success of Parkable, a company that started in 2015 as a way to connect drivers with people with spare carparks and has grown into an international parking management platform with the likes of Meta as a customer.
Littin speaks to the changes a company goes through when it moves from startup to scale-up and whether it’s possible to remain an NZ-based company in the current investment climate.
We also discuss the latest tech news, including the 18-year-old ethical hacker promoting good security practices for small businesses and how Tokelau, a nation of 15,000 people, became central to the world of international cybercrime.
