In June 2018, two young Kiwis created the first New Zealand-based e-scooter company. You'll now see pink Flamingo scooters throughout Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Learn about Flamingo's journey from idea to beating out heavyweight multinationals like Lime and Onzo for licences to operate. Also hear about where they're headed, how they're responding to the future of transport, and what they learned while launching a hardware startup.
This event is bought to you by Hardware Meetup AKL, with sponsorship from Propellerhead.
Speakers: Nick Hyland & Jacksen Love
Nick Hyland & Jacksen Love are the founders of Flamingo Scooters.
