4 Days + 1,200 Kms


Driving past Mt Ruapehu....

Jacqui and I have just returned from Wellington. It is a long drive, but then that's New Zealand.

Ever since Microsoft announced that Pingar was now part of the Startup Accelerator Program, opportunities have sprung up. The meetings in Wellington reflected that.

In a couple of postings last week, I spoke about Tauranga's software development base. Wellington has one too. There will I guess be many more trips to the capital over the next few months. Finding potential partners in the Windy City will be high on my list of objectives.

It is an interesting comparison to Auckland. Being only 2.5 hours drive from Tauranga, Auckland clients can be managed by Tauranga-based partners. Wellington cannot.

The tyranny of distance once again kicks in.
