FEMALE FOUNDERS WEEKLY HAS LAUNCHED!
We kicked off by interviewing Gabriela Hersham of Huckletree.
Gabriela begins by sharing her journey of starting Huckletree and the challenges she faced in the early days, including the struggle to raise funds and find the right team. She talks about the importance of networking and building relationships, and how this helped her to secure early investment and partnerships.
Gabriela also shares her experience of running a business while raising children, and the strategies she uses to balance both roles. As the conversation turns to the future of work, Gabriela shares her insights into how the pandemic has accelerated the shift towards remote and hybrid working, and the impact this is having on the co-working industry.

Female Founders Weekly the podcast:
Are you thinking about starting a business and don't know where to begin?
We're Sarah (founder of HostelPass) and Alex (founder of Freedom Underwear) and this podcast breaks down all of the key elements of getting started so you can feel less lost and more focused. We've chatted to other founders, investors, lawyers, accountants, and business coaches to create the ultimate 10-week startup guide. Basically, everyone you wish you could speak to when you're starting a business. Right now, female-founded businesses get just over 1% of VC funding. So we've chosen to amplify women's voices and stories, giving you everything from legal knowledge to how to effectively sell. Starting a business can definitely feel like stumbling around in the dark. So we're here to turn the lights on. So do your business a favour and tune in once a week, so you can get back to focusing on the important stuff. New episodes drop every week.
