Toby Rowland: Journalists needed crazy dot coms like us to write about
Manage episode 235252564 series 2512374
Toby Rowland was the co-founder of one of Britain's best-known dot com startups - a health site called Clickmango. He and his partner had no trouble raising £3 million, or spending it as fast as they could, at the urging of their investors, in a year and a half. They hired Joanna Lumley to promote their site but Toby realised, too late, that the idea of selling vitamins online wasn't going to work and that he should have tried one of the many other startup ideas he'd rejected. But Clickmango was followed in Toby's career by other innovative businesses, including a dating site and the company behind Candy Crush. In this podcast, Toby relives the dramatic rise and fall of Clickmango.
