A founding mentor and investor at Startmate, Dean has advised and invested in over 96 startups. In his conversation with Adam, Dean discusses the origin story of http://spreets.com/, co-founding Tech Sydney, and how important it is for founders to not get too much of their ego involved in their startup.
