To view the show notes for this episode, visit: cogent.co/podcast-6It can be a difficult to turn a consulting business into a product business. The two require very different mindsets and the immediacy of consulting revenue can be tempting to pursue over the longer-term benefits of product creation.The founders of Neighbourlytics seem to have negotiated this path well, learning quickly after winning the She Starts program, creating a product that is loved by customers, and now with a team of 10 operating from 6 desks, they just completed a $1.25 million seed investment round.We spoke with one of the co-founders, Jessica Christiansen-Franks, about things like countering the bro-culture of tech startups, creating vibrant cities where people find a connection, and the importance of finding work meaningful to enable us to do great work.To keep up to date with what is happening with Cogent, including when new episodes of this podcast are released, you can subscribe to our blog at cogent.co/blog.
