Angel at my Table another huge success

Our annual homage to startups was held on August 12th in front of a sell-out crowd - and a great night was had by all. The winners were: Pass the Idea (Dragons' choice) and Garden Genie (People's Choice). Congratulations to all the participants!

Many were keen on a demo of Pass the Idea - check our website for details on how you can participate over the next two weeks with other NZSA contacts to address the topic: ‘How might we close the talent and skill gap in the NZ software sector?’ 

Garden Genie
Member directory

The NZSA is launching a new directory of company members on our website. Current company and small company members have been invited to send their logo and link details to be included.

By taking part you will receive a free copy of the survey results and insight report (worth $250) - benchmarking information that's very useful for strategic planning. Hurry, it's only open until Monday: take the 2014 Market Measures survey now.
