I had a lot of fun (finally) chatting with Mark Pesce for This Week in Startups Australia.
In particular, I ask the question āwhy do we incentivise young people to dumb, safe thingsā early on in their careers when they can potentially take on huge amounts of risk? This is something I think about a lot and always interested in other peopleās thoughts on this.
We chat about:
- My first exposure with tech companies and how I got into
- The story of how INCUBATE started and how we tested it before we had a program
- Why INCUBATE grants are $5k till this day
- 4 principles in designing mentoring programs
- What Iām doing next!
