From guns to funds
This post was first published as a guest post for Startup Weekend http://perth.startupweekend.org/2012/08/28/from-guns-to-funds/ but was originally taken from a talk given at Bay Tech Startups in Finance, a meetup event I organise in San Francisco…
Application too complex to design for mobile. Try harder.
