Sitepoint is one of the world’s large online communities for Web Developers. It has been a pillar of the Victorian startup ecosystem since launching in 1999 with numerous successful spinoffs such as 99Designs and Flippa coming out of the business.

In the interview we cover a wide range of topics including:
- how to develop effective partnerships with large organisations
