Failure is not the first word that comes to mind when looking at the career of Rod Drury, co-founder of online accounting software company Xero. But like many entrepreneurs before him, failure led him to his success.
Recently he was hosted by Startup Grind Sydney and spoke about how he lost money on his document management startup and gave some tips on how to negotiate successfully. Check out his story in the videos below.
On Tuesday, September 16, Startup Grind Melbourne will be hosting Greg Roebuck, the founder and managing director of Australia’s number one automotive internet site carsales.com. The event will be held at The Atrium at NAB HQ in Docklands from 6pm to 9pm. For tickets, head over to Startup Grind’s eventbrite page.
