Highlights
Purpose is happiness, and wholeheartedly focussing on nothing else but building Hybr gave me purpose.
The only way to really transform the way young people rent is to empower agents and landlords to deliver a better renter experience.
I found the more I worked on Hybr, the more my own confidence grew in myself.
Being a founder is like being slapped in the face every day; you just have to constantly get up.
If you can’t tell your story in a succinct way, then you’re not going to land the point.
I think it’s important to disconnect from the brand exposure and do the day-to-day running of the business.
I really strongly believe in the mission and I can still really see that gap in the market, that’s what makes this all so worth it.
Being self-aware and understanding every day what energises you, what takes away your energy, is crucial.
I think showing that we were tackling an archaic, old sector with a new, fresher, innovative approach was really what interested them.
I think needing more female role models is a big drive of what I’m doing.
