Charlie talks with the co-founders of mining tech startup MiPlan, Louise and Rob Daw. The couple met in a former software business, and decided to set out on their own to solve a problem they saw in the resources industry.
Seven years in, they had built it up to a scale that they were acquired by major mining software conglomerate Hexagon Mining, where Rob is now CTO.
They both share their journey, through the startup phase, winning clients, fund-raising and hiring staff through to exit.
