Join us for the San Francisco launch of Rowan Simpson's new book, How to Be Wrong, hosted at Substack HQ.
‍
You’ll hear from Rowan Simpson (Trade Me, Xero, Vend, Timely) in conversation with Hamish McKenzie (Substack) — two Kiwi-born operators who’ve helped shape some of the most iconic startups on both sides of the Pacific.
‍
Through a candid, no-fluff interview, they’ll dive into the big themes from Rowan’s new book: how to embrace uncertainty, recognise patterns, and turn mistakes into momentum. It’s a conversation for anyone building something ambitious — and getting it wrong (before getting it right).

Plus, the chance to meet fellow founders, operators and investors building in the Bay Area.
