Lunchtime Q&A with Co-founder of You Plate It

Paul Baumgartner is a young entrepreneur based in Perth but has recently been coworking in CityHive while in town. Paul is the Co-founder of successful startup You Plate It.

You Plate It delivers recipe kits throughout Perth (a recipe kit is a recipe and all the ingredients needed to cook it). The business was started by Paul Baumgartner and Mark Rawlings in 2014 as a side project whilst working full time. It soon turned into their full time jobs, moved to larger premises and now employees around 15 people on a part time basis.

Prior to You Plate It, Paul spent most of his professional career working for Bankwest in strategy and managing a customer segment.

Agenda:

1) Short presentation – How Paul and Mark came up with the original idea and the transitioning from full time work to self-employment.

2) Q&A

This event is a great opportunity for Pollinators members and coworkers to learn all about a successful, Perth startup and to ask all the questions you’ve been wanting to ask someone of Paul’s experience and expertise, but never had the chance before.

Let’s make the most of having awesome entrepreneurs in our region, and take advantage of having Paul in CityHive willing to share his insights with our community.

Please RSVP to this event and make sure to bring along some lunch!
