This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.

Most entrepreneurs walk an unexpected path, and Ashley Werhun, founder of Mentorly, is the perfect case study. Starting out her career as a professional ballerina who toured the world and performed hundreds of shows per year, when it was finally time to hang up her ballet flats, she took a very different direction by becoming a tech founder. Seeing that there was a big need for mentorship, well beyond just ballet, Ashley founded Mentorly, a B2B mentorship program and learning and development platform, to help companies invest in their people by using smart mentor matching and AI that seamlessly integrates into existing HR tools. With her diverse background, Ashley not only shares how she was able to make such a big career change, but also advice she’d give to people just starting out, such as building your audience before your product.
