Mark Pesce discusses the organic growth of our ecosystem

Mark Pesce is the host of This Week In Startups Australia (TWISTA), a podcast which has charted the growth and maturity of Australia’s startup ecosystem since 2014. Born in the US, Mark first worked for a startup in 1982, and in the years since has worked in a variety of roles, including co-inventing VRML, which became a foundational format for displaying 3d graphics on the internet, founding Ono-Sendai, a first-generation virtual reality startup, and working for Apple as a consulting engineer. In 2003 Pesce relocated to Australia, and became a judge and panelist on the ABC TV program The New Inventors, as well as an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Sydney and a columnist for IEEE Spectrum. In his conversation with Adam, Mark discusses starting the TWISTA podcast, and some of the differences between the US and Australian startup ecosystems.See full show notes: https://w2d1.com/mark-pesceMentioned in this episode:This episode is sponsored by NTPThis episode is sponsored by NTP NTP is the technology recruitment company that values community and who are invested in seeing the growth of Australia's local tech community.
