Episode description
This week Progressive's George O'Connor and Ian Robertson canter through the newsflow of recent weeks, Bytes, Accesso, Northcoders and Hostelworld.
Is Bytes broken? No, but its reputation has taken another beating.
Hostelworld’s direct marketing expense reminds us why many startups sometimes feel they are just working for Google.
Reflecting on Salesforce’s recent wins with the US government, George looks back upon the Efficiency and Reform Group in the UK and whether its cost-saving success will be repeated.
