B2B Twin

Valeria Ignatieva and Gemma Lloyd co-founded WORK180 after experiencing a working world that was failing women.

This innovatively transparent job board now helps women around the world to confidently apply to workplaces with a proven commitment to diversity, inclusion, and gender equality.

Besides the core of WORK180, we get to explore funding, international expansion, and a truly modern workplace.

Harpocrates co-founders Jan Jensen and Martin Förster believe that the EU's GDPR will form the basis of a new data marketplace, with data privacy by design.

In this episode, they explain how they are building a high performance digital regulatory rules engine with an API and SDK based delivery system.

This will enable B2B-clients to implement data protection and privacy compliance elements directly into their products and services to ensure continuously updated digital regulatory rules.

Hearing Pencil’s Tim Demetriou and Marpipe’s Dan Pantelo share experiences and explore strategy through a founder’s lens was a rich learning opportunity.

 They provided unique insights that could only be uncovered through a founder’s curiosity and I especially enjoyed the discussion around the techniques they use to acquire and retain customers.

Having founded her own startup provides a good basis for NetApp’s Madhurima Argawal to join me at the Startups' Roundtable, but that barely scratches the surface.

We also talk through elements of NetApp's startup accelerators:

• Excellerator program is into its seventh cohort
• ExcellerateHER is about to launch and supports female founders - a significant expression of diversity, inclusion and innovation

An entrepreneur at heart and in reality, her blend of strategy, innovation and business acumen set us up for a great discussion.

Linda Wonneberger is founder and CEO of Comfexy and is an experienced entrepreneur and determined dreamer.

 Linda started by challenging the status quo of the female health market and has been executing on her strong desire to disrupt the FemCare/FemTech industry.  

Her first startup produces and distributes the patented LindaBra. A bra that supports women comfortably, by combining ergonomic fit, wireless hold and attractive appearance.

In May 2019 she launched the first FemCare platform for women and their female health. CUCA BY LINDA offers innovative, sustainable FemCare products and provides educational content for women, their health and self-esteem. 

But she's not stopping there - recently Linda also co-founded another FemTech company which will develop a medical connected device within the field of genital prolapse and incontinence.

Suzanne Noble is a co-founder of Silver Sharers and has launched the Startup School for Seniors - learnings and experiences from either is value, but hearing Suzanne speak about both ventures made this a rich experience.

Understanding your audience is one thing, but turning your understanding into deep care that surfaces as life-changing programs...well, that is another level of contribution.

Today’s conversation with K. Morgan & Co. founder, Kelsey Morgan, introduces us to her focus on empowering female founders to scale their startups. 

Lessons from Kelsey’s last decade working with female founders and utilising partnerships to 10X revenue, allowed us to discuss a range of topics including confidence, accelerating growth and both building and increasing the efficiencies of teams.

You will also hear Kelsey express the importance of socially conscious startups that support women and families, health/wellness and education.
