20130627 - Eagle Startups with Todd Heslin and Emma Petroulas
Todd Heslin - Referron
Todd is an Australian Entrepreneur who started his business life at the age of 15 selling crayfish from his parent’s farm about 2 hours south of Sydney. After a (relatively) short stint of working in the corporate world, Todd wondered why many people don’t care about working on things that matter. In 2008, he co-founded Apathco Group, a boutique Sustainability Advisory practice helping businesses transition into a low carbon economy. Todd’s recent startup, Referron, is a mobile app that empowers the champions of your business to refer their friends to you. Founded in Sydney in 2012, the team has gone through multiple iterations of the minimum viable product, testing different markets to work which types of customers see the best value
