Platinum Partner

Patient Zero

Patient Zero is a Brisbane-based software engineering thing. We prefer the word “thing” over “consultancy” because we don’t have the client dining and entertainment budgets that would qualify us as a typical Aussie consultancy. Also, we try very hard to run on time and on budget and not promise things we can’t deliver. So not very “consultancy” yet. We know this won’t last forever. One day, when we grow up, someone will buy us and turn us into a real consultancy – and then we’ll be able to dine and blow budgets with the best of them.

Oh yeah, probably worth mentioning that one of the reasons no one wants to buy us is that we have 3 Co-CEOs. It’s a recipe for madness, according to our board. But luckily, we have a shareholder’s agreement that protects us. Why 3 Co-CEOs? Well, partly because we can, and partly just because it seemed like a good idea at the time. So far it seems to be the least bad thing we have tried – and we’ve tried some really crazy stuff.
