He's far too modest to talk about it himself, but Gavin Mills, our head of UX, has not only delivered his first successful pitch, but has also become a media darling. Well, not quite. But he did complete our first ever podcast interview, with the awesome guys over at The Daily Spin, a NY-based podcast that talks to early stage startups to learn the real story of what it's like to follow your dreams, write the code and ship products. I may be biased, but I think he did a great

I'll have to admit that presenting and pitching are not my strong suits, but with Trent flying around South-East Asia meeting investors and advisors and Shanti up to her neck in lines of code, getting the booking engine functional ahead of our next release, the baton was handed to me. When Fabrica de Startups invited us to apply for a spot in their amazing-looking Discovery program (a startup incubator focussed on the Travel & Tourism sector), we all knew it was an opportunit

We've been fielding a ton of enquiries, interview requests, life rental opportunities and even a couple of job applications as a result of the tech coverage we've been getting but probably the most significant contact came late last week from a startup incubator program based in Lisbon, Portugal. Fabrica De Startups is part of the F6s network and state their mission is "to help people to become successful entrepreneurs. Using our methodology we help them identifying business

It's been an eventful few weeks here at ShelfLife HQ, which is now located on the beautiful island of Bali, thanks to a rapid departure from Saigon last week. You have to learn to adapt and be 'agile' when you're building a start-up, even if that means adapting to moving to a new country almost overnight. While we start to take the service for a test-run in beta mode, adding listings and modifying the onboard experience, the team has found some time to enjoy the famous 'work

If anyone asks you to drop everything, move overseas and help them build a startup that changes lives - pull a Nike and just do it. Especially if you've spent your whole career pushing pixels around the screen in advertising agencies for people who don't know the first thing about what they're doing. It's very exciting to be here in Vietnam with Shanti & Trent, building what we believe will be something truly amazing - but more about that later. Right now, we're moving as fas

Everything is going to change. That's my big takeout from my first trip to Southby, where the queues were long and the hype flowed as freely as the beer.

Almost as inspiring as seeing the packs of investors and angels, circling the school of startup minnows, looking for their
