In Conversation With John Henderson
Event description
In 2020, how we communicate and share experiences has been challenged in ways we never predicted.
Handshakes aren't the norm. Video calls are more common than coffee catch-ups. And many of those who have adjusted to a remote working lifestyle won't return to offices ever again.
Through all of this, we've seen a desire to break the boundaries of what it means to be connected to each other and to common ideas, and a longing to find the humanity and warmth in tech-enabled interactions.
That's where we come in.
We've rallied some of the brightest former _southstart speakers - across tech, the startup world and the creative industries - to help you make sense of this new world we've found ourselves in.
The conversations are free to watch and will be live-streamed online, direct to you.
We're calling it the _southstart Connection Series.
In this conversation you'll hear from John Henderson, a Partner at Airtree Ventures.
He started his career founding Bush Campus - a startup that failed, but taught him invaluable lessons about building a business. Today, he focuses on investing in and supporting great founding teams at their very early stages.
At Airtree Ventures, Henderson focuses on vertical applications of data analytics. He led the firm’s investments in Hyper Anna, Thematic, Earth AI and Flurosat.
Prior to AirTree, John was a founding Principal at US/UK venture fund White Star Capital and before that was the COO of Summly, a machine learning startup acquired by Yahoo for US$30m in 2013.
