Sam talks with Stewart Townsend about the early days of the London Startup scene.

My guest recently was Stewart Townsend my good friend and often partner in crime for many fun startup events which we organised together along with Stuart Witts . A chance meeting with Stewart, 20 years ago at one of the Open Coffee club mornings I had organised in Waterstones, led to the start of a great friendship. This podcast takes you through those early days of the London startup scene. From Stewart's work with Sun Microsystems and working with Twitter develop ers. Through to events we did together such as Flowery Tweetups and Flowery Cinema; the one where we hired a Leicester Square cinema to watch the new Facebook film The Social Network and invited 250 of our Facebook friends to join us. Find out why we also had drinks with Henry ' The Fonz ' Winkler and Mark Zuckerberg as well as a private dinner with Scott McNealy then CEO of Sun Microsystems at Blenheim Palace , to name but a few. Together with Manoj Ranaweera , we helped start the first Techcelerate: The Original Tech Ecosystem in Manchester and even recently attended its 11th-year commemoration. Stewart also talked about his time with Zendesk EMEA , DataSift and Oracle through to his current project providing companies with a managed sales channel (Channel As As Service - CAAS).
