Today we’re joined by Gareth
Hickey, Co-Founder & CEO of Noa (News Over Audio), an app that
narrates written journalism from news publishers, including the FT,
the Economist and the Harvard Business Review. Gareth launched the
business in 2016 after a career in finance. He spotted a gap in the
market with the way news was being consumed – and that audio could
help consumers understand the news in a much more digestible
way. In this fascinating
conversation, Gareth talks candidly about what the first 18 months
of a startup founder looked like for him. We also discuss the power
of building relationships, lessons learnt from his soft launch, the
balance between entertainment and news, the future of audio
journalism and his advice on leveraging partnerships.
