Here's some information about our guests:
Peter Burke
CEO & Founder, Conker Group
Co-founded Logobrand, an outsourced field sales & marketing agency, in 1990. Stepped back after 20 years by promoting a colleague to the MD role, but 3 years later created Conker - an apps and data business - due to boredom. In parallel to Conker, I helped take Wefarm from concept to over 1 million African farmers using the service; we raised over $15m in grants and VC funding. Now I'm focused on the bunny.money startup - I've been advising them for over 5 years. After bunny.money gets VC funding, I expect it will be Audacity next for VC funding.
