Regular meet-ups and get-togethers are at the core of tech communities worldwide, but they can be a challenge to maintain and sustain over the long term. Often, they lose their momentum and their vibrant participation, and may just limp along to an inevitable end. In this podcast episode, we speak with Ingrid Riley, the Founder of Kingston BETA, a tech start-up community event that has been around since 2007, and Jermaine Henry, the current Curator of Kingston BETA, on among other things:  Kingston BETA and its impact on Jamaica's tech start-up community; why Kingston BETA events are being held in person; and the essential ingredients for a meet-up's longevity.   The episode, show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found on the ICT Pulse Podcast Page (www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/)    Enjoyed the episode?

There's nothing like that wake up call that says: You're doing too much. You need a break. There's more for you on the other side, but you have to step back to see it... Ingrid Riley, Founder of Rebel Grrl Media and Silicon Caribe publication joins the show to talk about her dynamic career journey, her experience with burn out and how it birthed a new level of genius and a new company.  For many women you've received these messages at some point in your career journey.

We talk about all things sun, sea and sooo much more!

A dozen years ago, the tech entrepreneurship space in the Caribbean is not like it is now. At that time, techies were considered outliers – an exotic and raggedly bunch who were trying to make their pipe dreams come true. In Jamaica, the long-sunning event Kingston BETA, organised by Ingrid Riley, created a safe space for techies to share ideas, learn and network. Fast forward to today, technology and innovation are being actively encouraged in schools and by policymakers, and may even be considered mainstream. With Kingston BETA’s final staging in June, after 11 years, we sit with Ingrid Riley to discuss her own journey, the legacy of Kingston BETA, and what might in the cards for the future.

Would it be sleep or would it food? I'll definitely do the food. Because the food would probably help me to sleep better because you can't really sleep well if you're hungry if your belly is like rumbling. Who is Ingrid Riley? Just somebody who is curious, love to experiment, love to get to know people, love to read, love to observe individuals, love to travel. I definitely have a thing for travelling. If I don't travel, my skin starts to itch. So now, let's get a little digital. How were you able to get started in this somewhat predominantly male-oriented field? I never thought that would—I have no other intention just to simply follow what I was curious and passionate about. I was an investigative journalist. And when I kind of reached as far as I could and having been surrounded by technology. And I just kind of fell in love and fell really hard. Coming from that thought tradition and media background, I was looking at online media. Because of all of that exposure, I started my first company, which was called Maverik Media.  What were some of the bumps in the road that you encountered? I'll choose one from the early days. Because I had this internet guide, it was my then business partner, I said, “Hey, I don't know how to do this. Can you help me? Let's put it together.” Because of that, she was also part of Maverick Media and we like doing things like email, newsletters or stuff that we are learning and sending out to people that we knew. We were recruited by this American dot-com called HomeView.com And so we put Maverick Media on ice to go and join this team in the hope of, you know, the whole thing of you joining a team. You get shares. We're going to go IPO, you know, instant millionaire, right? The dot-com bubble popped. I led myself to be fired and went back to Maverick Media afterwards. The thing that I learned from that is never put your own company on hold to go and work for somebody else unless you were at the centre of negotiating and really negotiate terms that are actually really good for you. I think we're just kind of happy to be there, happy to learn, happy to be part of this thing without actually thinking about the business aspect of it carefully and recognise when a shark comes and knock on your door. Don't put your company on the ice. Learn how to negotiate better. Don't do things that are against your value system because it's always going to come and bite you. The second lesson I've learned recently is in this whole process of being involved in kick-starting the Jamaican tech entrepreneurship and startup ecosystem here and the Caribbean as well, I learnt to say no and always take care of myself. How important is it for entrepreneurs and even persons who are considering entering entrepreneurship to follow their instinct? It is the number one thing. It comes down to trusting yourself as an entrepreneur who tends to see things differently, tends to see things before others. Well, let's look at the flipside note, alright? When you create a product or a service or whatever it is, you become so intimately attached to it and you take it too personal to the extent that you refuse to listen to others. I know what is best for me. That's the flipside. What do you say to that? No. I believe that there's always value in that—success always leaves clues. If you see somebody,
