I was THIRTEEN when I started my first business! | School-dropout-turned-entrepreneur-turned-CTO: Geoff Wright of Tembo (Replay) 45:14

The right dev partner can make or break your product. AppUnite embeds with your team to build apps that scale. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3FHeCC0 Geoff Wright is the CTO of Tembo, but his path leading up to this position was anything but ordinary. Entrepreneurial as a kid, Geoff forged his own, alternative path. Instead of doing the usual by completing his studies, going to uni, and getting a job, Geoff realised he could make money doing what he loved... Of course, there were lots of lessons along the way - the kind you DON'T get taught at school! Ultimately, what Geoff has developed a deep appreciation for is THE PROBLEM. The bigger the problem, the more your customers will want it. The more painful the problem, the more they'll pay for it. And the more they'll forgive you flaws. (Particularly helpful in the early days when the tech is somewhat lacklustre!) Tune into Geoff's fascinating story to hear how he went from school dropout to serial entrepreneur and now CTO at a fast-scaling proptech. - 🏡 Discover more about Tembo, the online digital mortgage broker focused on helping first-time buyers, movers & re-mortgagers overcome the affordability gap: https://www.tembomoney.com/ - Get involved in the conversation: Instagram: https://instagram.com/stephmelodia/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/stephaniemelodia/…
