?? TECH NEWS ROUND UP I What's been happening in Tech/SaaS?
1?? Interest rates affect billion-dollar Aussie tech corporations.
NBN Co. records a $696 million loss for H1 of fiscal year 2024. Though they saw a 5% surge in revenue, they recorded a net loss, which they tied to the escalated interest rates.
2?? Apple coming for Tesla?
Behind closed doors, Apple had been working towards breaking into the electric car market to rival Tesla. However, recently, hundreds of employees' jobs have been cut, and all work on the project has halted to focus on Apple's generative AI projects.
3?? ‘Nice-to-have’ tech still getting investment love from VCs.
Lapse, a mobile app that gives users the analogue camera feel without the bulky price tag, has been turning heads. Greylock (an early investor in Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok) has led a USD 30 million Series A round for the photography app.
4?? AI & Cybersecurity continue to lead the charge in 2024.
Forbes, Accenture, and Gartner, amongst many others, have had their say. Within the tech niche, there are new trends daily, however, there are common themes among all.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Cyber Security look to be the two spaces that are ever-growing in a turbulent tech market. Both are labelled a 'must-have’ focus on staying competitive and futureproof in 2024.
5?? The emergence of the most ironic start-up niche to date?
VCs have been investing in what can be seen as one of the world's greatest ironies. Recently, investors have been injecting money into startups that help other start-ups shut down.
Due to the legality, financial, and logistical complications of a start-up winding down, VCs have started to invest in companies that make the closing of a company more affordable and less complicated for its founders.

? ON THE BLOG I Eliminate these Words to Create a More Inclusive, Unbiased Recruitment Process
Subtle biases often creep into the language of technology and sales job descriptions, influencing who feels encouraged to apply and who feels excluded. While studies suggest a decline in overt gender bias, stereotypes and misconceptions persist, particularly in certain sectors and seniority levels. The language we use in job descriptions plays a crucial role in attracting diverse candidates and fostering a sense of belonging and equality for all applicants.
READ OUR LATEST BLOG for some tips to create inclusive job descriptions and avoid gendered language when hiring in tech.
