Iterate and Creative Natives were two exciting Australian start-ups, that launched within a few months of each other, in 2019. Both were set up for great early success, and destined to smash the lights out in their first full calendar year of 2020. And then Covid hit. Every single recruitment business on the planet struggled for a period of time. But the firmly established companies probably had a slightly easier ride than others. But what was it like to be a brand new business, who were barely off the mark, fighting for survival and heading into the toughest economy the world has ever known? In this episode Michael Boyd and Ryan Lynch from Iterate, and Ryan Kelly from Creative Natives, take us back in time and talk us through what was probably the hardest 12 months of their professional lives. But, they also tell us what is was like to come through it, to now find themselves thriving in this amazing market bounce-back. Hope you enjoy “The Start-Ups That Have Survived And Thrived Through Covid”.
