Laura Tacho is the CTO at DX, an insights platform for measuring and improving developer productivity. Laura is also one of the greatest leadership coaches I have ever met, and I had the privilege of working with her for years. When I started working with Laura, I had zero engineers and no idea what I was doing in product at all, and step by step, she built me and my entire team up from scratch. Because of Laura's help, we went from a bit of a disaster for a product team to a genuinely world-class product team I am incredibly proud of! I talk about the benefits of coaching on this podcast constantly, and I'm always talking about Laura when I do because working with someone like Laura can fundamentally change your business. On top of this, Laura writes about developer teams in her newsletter and on Twitter, and it's opinionated, honest, and genuinely good.

Shark Tank Shark Steve Baxter has had incredible success as a founder and has since transitioned to starting and running one of the top investment funds in Australia. Outside of the fame, the success, and the 1000’s pitches, Steve also ran Australia’s top accelerator, River City Labs. In 2017, I went through that accelerator, which is why we survived and grew as a business. I will always have a lot of love for what Steve has been able to do for the startup community.
But, to give some details:
Steve started his first business when he was 23
Steve then started a business called PIPE Networks, which he sold eight years later for $373m
Steve now runs the investment company TEN13
Steve is incredibly passionate about the startup ecosystem and has made one of the most significant impacts on the Australian ecosystem out of anyone in the country.

Best-selling author Nick Gray wrote one of the most influential books I read last year, “The 2-Hour Cocktail Party,” which is essentially a formula and guide to hosting small gatherings or parties. This book aims to help you meet new people, strengthen existing relationships, and make YOU the person everyone wants to know. I read this book the first week I moved to the US and threw a party three weeks later. I really do love his book and recommend it all the time.
Before the book, Nick built and sold two multi-million dollar companies, the most recent being Museum Hack, which was featured all over the internet. On top of this, Nick regularly hosts incredible events in Austin, posting content on his YouTube channel and writing a regular newsletter.
Nick is an absolute expert in building networks and relationships.

THE GUEST
Michael Batko is the CEO of Startmate, Australia's most ambitious accelerator. Michael started as a business student following the traditional path into consulting and corporate life (Amex, PwC, KPMG) … but then fell in love with the startup world growing two start-ups from a team of 2 to 50+, including a $ 13M Series B capital raise. Then he joined Startmate, Australia's most ambitious accelerator, as Head of Operations, and ended up taking over as CEO. On top of this, Michael is the founder of Puddle Pod, a 5 week virtual productivity huddle which brings together incredible founders who are obsessed with improving their businesses and lives. And my personal favourite, Michael runs a book club that I attended and it actually introduced me to Fantasy books which I now love.
Michael is an absolute expert at building 0 to 1 and building up founders.
THE TAKEAWAYS
Joining a startup accelerator is extremely beneficial for founders who want to accelerate their growth and have access to mentors and resources.
Outsourcing app development can be risky and is generally a bad idea. Iit is always better to find a technical co-founder or team member.
