January’s Software East event will have ‘Building a Software Business’ as its theme.

Event details are being firmed up at the moment but the focus of the event will be a panel session considering questions such as:

• Do you need a ‘big’ idea?
• How to find customers
• Building the ‘right’ product
• How to fund the business
• Scaling up
• Problems of success
• Are software businesses ‘different’?

If you have questions you’d like to see answered by the panel then please bring them along or send them to me in advance.

I’ll be leading the panel and Neil Davidson and Allan Kelly have already agreed to share their experiences so it should be a very interesting session. As with other Software East events there will also be plenty of time scheduled for chatting to other participants.
