Quick answers
What is Tradable Bits?
A Vancouver company building fan engagement, analytics, advertising and messaging tools for sports teams, music labels and live event brands. It reports working with more than 200 brands and reaching over 62 million fans in the past year.
What did he argue at TechVancouver?
That self-funding forces discipline rather than limiting ambition. Find a co-founder smarter than you, different from you and harder-working; hire one at a time into one room; and do not outsource. His three P's are persistence, perseverance and pivot.
What was his biggest mistake?
Marketing. He said the company spent its first two years building without ever telling its story, and his fix is to find your industry's groundhog moments, the recurring dates when everybody suddenly wants to hear from you.
