Charlie Gunningham (Startup News) chats with Julian Ilich (founder and CEO of Tiller Rides), Mel Bainbridge, (co-founder of The Pack Australia) and Glen McIvor (founder and CEO of Solv).

The session was titled ‘The launch, the raise and the exit’ as each founder had had a significant launch, raise or exit during the past year.

“… I love startups, I love that part of it, and I also think [that] I don’t want to run a big business. You end up being an HR manager, which is not fun at all. But the actual startup part is really fun.” ~ Glen McIvor.
