Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences. I’m Kevin Brent and this week on the show we dive into the culinary world with Claire Ladkin, founder of All About The Cooks. This groundbreaking platform turns home kitchens into local marketplaces, letting cooks sell their delicious creations. Launched in the throes of 2020, it faced pandemic hurdles but emerged as a community staple. We'll explore the startup's journey, from the tech challenges and fundraising rollercoaster to the marketing strategies that fuelled its growth. Claire shares her vision for a future where home-cooked meals bind communities, and her platform empowers cooks nationwide.
