Yesterday our Associate Partner @Vitsounis met with a group of exceptional Kiwi founders at the #NZTEInvestment #NZTechweek office hours.
Great to see so much talent from across the ditch!
Hear from one of our superstar Founders, @danieldraper from @cipherstash as he explains why data security is more important than ever, why devs should have a good understanding of cryptography, and the gender gap in technology.
Last week, founder @danieldraper spoke to Mike Shriner on the SecureTalk podcast about CipherStash's dis-aggregated architecture and even dug into a little about how order-revealing encryption works! buff.ly/3IRWpgL

The founders of @upflowy dropped some tips, lessons on brand awareness, the advantages of having an engaged network, so grab a pen and paper to take some notes.
