Alasdair Macleod is a startup investor at Maia Technology in Sydney. Alasdair founded Macdoch Ventures in 2010 after a 20 year career with NewsCorporation. While with News he witnessed first hand the effect of digital disruption on established business models and got to play offense (as Board Director of REA, the owner of Australia's leading real estate website) and defense (as CEO of various newspaperbusinesses in Australia and the UK). He also lead the development of various digital businesses for News interactive in the UK during the "first Tech Boom" of the late nineties where he made many mistakes.Alasdair believes that the important ingredients for a successful start-up are people, people and people (and a bit of money and some luck).
