Every founder knows the highlight reel; fewer talk about the moments that nearly ended it all. Jonathan Matthews, co-founder and Managing Director of CorpCloud & Intelligent IP has lived both sides. In this talk, Jono shares the story of two startups: what broke, what survived, and the hard-won lessons that turned setbacks into the foundation of a Perth-grown telecommunications and IT business now powering organisations across Australia. Expect honest war stories, practical takeaways, and a reminder that resilience, not perfection, is what gets startups through.
