"Community gatherings with globally-proven industry experts are
critical to developing Scotland's entrepreneurial ecosystem," said
Nick Murray, Co-Director of Startup Grind Scotland. "Our first
interview with Andy in Silicon Valley this April was a significant
mindset shift for the 20 Scottish founders we took to the
entrepreneurship mecca. With the Scottish Government announcing
Scotland's Tech Scaler Hubs this month, now is the perfect time to
look internationally to find best practices and learn from those
who have been there before. This interview will broaden the
horizons of what's possible for Scottish businesses through the
eyes of someone who has had incredible success in scaling a SAAS
business to a global entity."
“Selecting Edinburgh was the right choice for UserTesting’s
European headquarters, and we are excited to be a part of this
event, highlighting the value we have found in establishing offices
here,” said Andy MacMillan, CEO of UserTesting. “UserTesting is
proud to support Edinburgh’s, and Scotland’s, growing technology
scene. There are great opportunities for companies in Scotland, due
to the local education system, partnership opportunities with local
government agencies, and the local talent, which is what global
technology companies are looking for today.”
