Description
Wins, losses, lessons and laughs.
From 'naughty lists' to sprinting swans, wandering ducks to
Amarula-based incentives, The First Kudu takes you on the
roller coaster ride of a start-up, and dives into real learnings
along the way.
The narrative invites you to journey through the chaos with the
young team and unpacks in gritty detail what goes into building
a tech start-up - with stories of fun and failure honestly told in
equal measure.
The First Kudu tells the story of HouseME, a rental technology
company founded in South Africa that grew to 34 employees
and 50 000 registered users, processing hundreds of millions
of rands each year. The company won awards, raised several
rounds of funding and was sought after by competitors.
It was exciting.
It was excellent.
And then
it was dead.
Ben Shaw (former CEO) and Lorne Hallendorff (former COO)
provide a whirlwind tour of what goes into building a start-up
at the southern tip of Africa and what they would do differently,
were they to do it again.
