What It Takes to Take On Google | Thu 29 Oct midday - 12:40pm

Let’s connect again and spark a few ideas over lunch – virtually!

TODAY'S EVENT:

What it Takes to Take on Google – the story behind Aussie mediatech Oovvuu.

Founder Ricky Sutton spills the beans on Oovvuu’s journey from a lounge room start-up in 2014 to hyper-growth stage, managing millions in funding, and why India and Africa were great test markets before taking on the US behemoths.

Is Oovvuu journalism’s white knight? When the industry started to die Oovvuu founder Ricky Sutton, invented a lifeline - a tech platform with a market of 1 billion news consumers. But it was four and half years of no pay before a hefty funding round fuelled Oovvuu’s growth to the next level and then the next. Now, in hyper-growth phase, Oovvuu is taking on Google and Facebook.

Tune in today to hear how a former journo is scaling his mediatech business globally, tips on managing a hyper-growth phase, and what excites Ricky Sutton in the business world today.
