Rob Stirling
CEO & Co-Founder, Scannable
Robert Stirling grew up in the mountains, heading off on adventures on his Dad’s shoulders. The love that grew from these experiences drove Rob to carve out a career in the outdoor world.
Rob has spent his career in design and manufacturing. From outdoor equipment produced in Asia to work at height safety equipment produced in the UK, Rob has a passion to solve technical problems and deliver solutions that matter.
This passion led Rob to launch Scannable in 2020.
Gene Dower
CTO & Co-Founder, Scannable
Gene Dower joined Scannable as CTO and late-stage co-founder in 2021.
Gene has worked in the New Zealand tech space for the last 12 years, but also knows what it means to trust equipment with his life. Gene’s preferred way to spend a lunch break is flying off Bob’s Peak, above the Queenstown Gondola.
Rob Vickery
Managing Partner & Founder
Rob’s purpose in life is to empower others to create a better future for the next generation. He firmly believes that impactful venture capital investment is a pathway to fulfilling his purpose.
An entrepreneur turned VC, Rob’s career started in the British financial sector and then transitioned to California, where he founded his first venture capital firm in 2012.
In 2019, he returned to New Zealand which offered him the opportunity to build Hillfarrance, a firm that was centred around a belief that collaboration generates superior investment returns. This cultural cornerstone enabled Hillfarrance to create several “firsts” in the New Zealand startup venture capital market; the country’s first venture scout programme; an annual, nationwide startup education roadshow; and Collaborative Carry where we share 20% of our profits with our portfolio company founders.
As of mid-2022, Hillfarrance has welcomed fifteen portfolio companies to the village and laid the foundations for a multi-generational firm.
