In the lastest show Chris and James meet Will and Matthias from NearNote - they are the dictionary definition of student entrepreneurship.
Despite both still being at UCL they have rather impressive CV’s including stints with IBM, Shell, writing for Wired, Barclays, and oh yeah, setting up and running their own business. We noticed the guys after their Le Web London pitch and thought they would make inspirational guests for anyone wanting to start their own business. This interview includes lots of pivot talk for Eric Ries fans!
