Welcome to the New Zealand [Startup Digest]
For newcomers: [Startup Digest] started in Silicon Valley and has already attracted over 20,000 subscribers and received endorsements from some of the most high profile entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in Silicon Valley - many of whom have encouraged us to expand the list to New Zealand because they believe that there is a massive amount of unrealized potential in the startup world here. We couldn't agree more.
You can also get New Zealand event updates, local start-up commentary and links to our innovators forum discussion through Twitter @IONTweets New Zealand [Startup Digest] is curated by: Paul Spence begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting – Genius.net & @GeniusNet
