#026: Xero to Hero - Gary Turner from Xero - a podcast by Alex Chisnall

"This feels like the main act. It feels like the first few decades of my career in technology were the warm up act, the support act.

This is now the main act on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury. It's the main event on the Saturday night, this is the real revolution and it's an incredible time to be part of that and to have front row seats in a business like Xero. I'm having a ball."

Gary Turner is co-founder and Managing Director of Xero Accounting in the UK. Under Gary's management, Xero has scaled from a three -person startup with annual revenues of £50,000 in 2009 to now having over 1 million subscribers and being valued at over £1.4 Billion. I found out how he's done it.

I also speak to Arun Thangavel from social video discovery platform Hollabox. After graduating from Bournemouth University Arun, along with co-founders Adam and Josh, launched Hollabox in Bournemouth. After pivoting and rebuilding their platform from the ground-up, they have been accepted onto Just Eat's accelerator platform. I caught up with Arun to find out more.
