Ian Cumming is a travel industry super connector, investor, techie and global founder of Travel Massive, the largest tourism community in the world. In what started as a small gathering for travel startups at the top of Sydney’s YHA Hostel a decade ago, Travel Massive has now turned into a community of more than 63,000 members in 173 cities around the world. 

Growing up in Hobart, Tasmania, Ian was fascinated with technology and became a software developer and co-founded a software business. He has built and excited a number of tech companies and in 2015 set out to put everything into building the Travel Massive community.

Ian’s focus is still the same today to bring people together offline and in person to support each other, learn new skills, have a beer and who knows even make friends. Ian joins us to discuss his path through entrepreneurship and what strategies he used to build the business.
