#010 International Athletes Turned Entrepreneurs - Compass Tehcnologies

Author: Angus Pauley October 30, 2019 Duration: 45:35

There are over 130 craft breweries and over 500 wineries in New Zealand. The vast majority have a taproom or cellar door where you can hear more information about the wine or beer you're about to buy. 

But what happens when you're at the supermarket or liquor store? 

Compass gives consumers the customer service they deserve, regardless of where they purchase the product. Their technology allows businesses to tell their story and share important product information, all through the consumers smartphone. 

On this episode, Angus sat down with University of Otago students and international athletes,  Matthew Clough and Olivier Despati to talk about their experience starting up through Audacious, Startup Dunedin's student startup programme for Otago Polytechnic and University of Otago students.


Hosted by Angus Pauley, the Startup Dunedin Podcast pulls up a chair with the people building things in the deep south and beyond. This isn't about polished, theoretical success; it's about the real grind. Each conversation digs into the specific tactics a founder used to secure funding, the exact tool that saved an expert hours each week, or the personal routine that kept someone going after a major setback. You'll hear war stories from early failures that shaped a better approach, and success stories that reveal what actually worked when the pressure was on. The aim is to move beyond simple inspiration, offering tangible lessons you can apply to your own path. Tuning into this podcast feels like getting direct, unfiltered advice from someone who's been in the trenches, all focused on the practical takeaways from a personal or professional journey. It’s a resource for anyone in the business world looking to learn from the lived experiences of others, one honest conversation at a time.
