    <itunes:summary>Startup50K is a podcast for entrepreneurs in startups and intrapreneurs building innovative products and services within organisations. Our main format is discussion or interview style where an App developer (Cameron Burns - also the show host), and an investor interview an entrepreneur working on a startup or building an innovative app within a larger organisation.&#13;
&#13;
While we discuss technology, we also look at traditional businesses and how they are being disrupted by new technology. Hardware, mobile apps and new technology and entrepreneurship in general are areas we focus on.</itunes:summary>
