Gordon Guthrie (Hypernumbers) made an appearance on StartupCafe recently when he spoke to us about magic! This week, as our 60 second interviewee, he will speak about himself. Hypernumbers has a mission – to make web programming easy for non-programmers, by allowing us to use an interface we’re already familiar with… the spreadsheet! Now let’s meet the man behind the mission.
What’s your startup, and your role? CEO/CTO at Hypernumbers
Give us your company culture in 3 words: People Quality Customers
What’s the next big challenge or hurdle the company needs to overcome? Building a sustainable income stream from customers
What’s the personal dream? I’m too old fashioned to answer that question
And the professional dream? To make Hypernumbers a great success and be a role model for an emergent and important sector of the Scottish Economy
What do you do for stress relief? Cook
Your favourite ’skint’ meal? You will need to consult my online cooksite http://alabonnefemme.uses.hn
How do you celebrate milestones or awards? Have a party or a night out…
What’s your biggest guilty pleasure? Sneaking out to buy 78s or going round the antique shops during the working day
And the coolest event you’ve been to? Standing as a candidate in the first elections to a Scottish Parliament for 300 years
Name a quirky fact about yourself: I hate computers 🙂
Also, when I bought my iPhone (to test hypernumbers) the man in the shop said I was the only iPhone customer he had ever seen who wasn’t excited about getting it.
Given the choice, would you prefer:
i) Truth or dare? Dare
ii) Carrot or stick? Carrot
iii) Tea or coffee? Coffee
