Posted on 22. Apr, 2009 by Andy.
I gave a talk at yesterday’s TechCrunch Europe Geek’n’Rolla conference about dealing with growth, hiring a brilliant team and creating a great company culture.

So what are you doing 28-30 April this year? Huddle will be at the Innovation Pavilion at the Internet World 2009 along with Webjam, Siondo, Fresh Networks and Xero.
