What was her TechVancouver talk about?
She mapped a company's first five years onto raising a child — the idea, the newborn year, the terrible twos, the growth phase, and the sale or the school gate — giving the dream, the nightmare and the likely outcome for each. It was her first talk.

Fortey and her co-founders spent about nine months on a travel app, decided it was not going far enough, and used co-founder Thomas Park's real-estate background to start again.
