Let's face it - without code there would be no startup ecosystem. Tech is part of just about every product or service out there at some level. So is a great coder born or bred? What does it take to look after your inner geek if it is you? Just how far would you go to keep the best coder you ever had on your team if someone was about to lure them away? Is your great coder "on the spectrum"? And should you care? 

Let's have some fun tackling some of the big questions behind what keeps tech talent delivering for you as an entrepreneur. 

This is going to be exciting! We are delighted to have two of the most prominent and fast growing FinTech companies in Australia on the same panel - Clover and Spaceship!

• How does Spaceship work - Superannuation
• How does Clover work - Investing
