On this keynote address Merryn Straker, Chief Operating Office and co-founder of Straker Translations, will share Straker Translations’ journey from a startup born in 1999 to listing on the ASX two years ago. Merryn will talk about aspirations for Straker Translations to shake up the world of language translation and create a hugely successful company… answering the question about how kiwis, as a nation of innovators and change agents ‘go big or go home’.

Merryn Straker - Straker Translations Chief Operating Officer

‘Go big or go home’ in a kiwi context

Tuesday Feb. 08 - 10:15 - 11:00 (45 min)

Global startup benchmarker, Startup Genome notes that kiwi founders score very highly when it comes to wanting to change the world, but that when it comes to choosing the size of the market we were going after, we were inclined to choose the smallest option. So what does ‘go big or go home’ look like in a kiwi context? AANZ’s Bridget Unsworth will set the context sharing last year’s survey insights. She will then moderate a panel to dig into how we liberate our ability to change the world.

Creating a portfolio that delivers on ‘go big or go home’ How do you build and manage a portfolio that delivers on going big or go home? What do we need to do to support our companies to deliver outsized returns?

What will our world look like in 15 years?

Wednesday Feb. 09 - 11:45 - 12:30 (45 min)

In this session we explore what our world could look like in 15 years time if we are wildly successful and how we might get there in 5 years. While we continue to invest record amounts of capital year after year, the fact is that if we are to truly scale the impact of early stage venture investment we need billions not hundreds of millions of capital. How do we make it easier for more wealth managers and kiwisaver providers to back startups? What do we need to do as an angel community to make it easier?

Hamish Blackman - Green Mount Capital
Melissa Yiannoutsos - Booster

Moderator: Guy Royal - NZGCP

Infusing our children with “go big or go home”

Wednesday Feb. 09 - 12:30 - 13:15 (45 min)

Most entrepreneurs have a story of how they were inspired from a young age to follow their passion and build something new. Driven by curiosity, children are masters of outside-the-box thinking and problem solving. Innovative ecosystems are built by curious founders, so how can we help to nurture these skills in our young people to help build a strong talent pipeline for our
future? Dr Michelle Dickinson will discuss findings from her research at Nanogirl Labs on what our children can teach us about entrepreneurship.

Dr Michelle Dickinson - Nanogirl Labs

Closing remarks and long lunch
