I’m in NZ, and involved in the startup community down here.

Great people, great vibe.

There’s a long history of Innovation down here at the bottom of the planet.

The best example is David Downs book “#8 Rewired” which gives examples of great NZ Innovations such as:

Disposable hypodermic syringe Manned flight(disputed) Jet boat Nanotube Freeze dried coffee(sorry) DNA discovery Splitting the atom(Rutherford) DNA double helix(Wilkins, the DNA Ringo Starr)

Unfortunaly, outside of Xero(Cloud Accounting) there isn’t much of that awesome innovation scaling down here.

Discovery yes, scaling not so much.
