This is the thirteenth episode in a new series of the Two Tribes podcast supported by Tank Stream Labs (TSL).

Pete meets with Tashi Dorjee from Two Space. Two Space identifies un- or under-utilised spaces like restaurants and bars for start up teams to use as co-working space and also plays a role in connecting and sharing across this community. It is now open in locations in Sydney and Melbourne and prides itself on being affordable and unique.

We hear about the founding story of Two Space and in particular the unique mix of physical and technical requirements for a business like Two Space. Tashi is the Chief Space Officer and is a serial entrepreneur who previously built and led Carbon Conservation a sustainability tech business. From Tashi we learn about his 'hustle in' approach to entrepreneurship and how he balances his time on the business.

Two Space and Two Tribes have something in common... bringing the Australian start up community together

This is the twelfth episode in a new series of the Two Tribes podcast supported by Tank Stream Labs (TSL).

Pete sits down with Millie Zinner and Alice Pritchard Davies from Motherhood App. These first time founders have created a service which connects mums to other mums for childcare - a community and network of families.

On the podcast we hear about where the idea for Motherhood App came from including harking back to primal roots where communities used to raise kids together. Millie and Alice are old school friends who have a passion for childcare and could see a problem space parents who are strapped for time, money and balancing demanding jobs. The app has been bootstrapped to date and is looking to expand so parents, keep an eye out for it in your area.

Great to hear the story of two aussie female founders solving an issue for aussie parents.
