I Had A Baby - And That Gave Birth To A Successful Business!

Jan 23, 2023

What a great episode of ScaleUp Radio this this one is.  A fantastic discussion with Kate Bell, who's the founder of Zip Us In 

It's a brilliant product and is a really great journey that Kate has been on from literally being off on maternity leave and coming up with an idea and then taking it through over eight years to being in multiple countries having sold 10s of 1000s of units of the main product.

We hear about her journey where she got the product into boots early on, how she went around finding a manufacturer for her products because she was literally making it herself and sewing it together with her a mother, raising some angel finance then getting some additional financing, including venture capital, investment

All sorts of wonderful things and one or two great examples of things that are just practical examples of things that she wished she'd known at the time and might well have done differently and along the way, and a trip to Dragon's Den as well. 

So what's not to like about this action packed episode there's so much to learn. It's such a great story from Kate. A delight to have her on and I know that you're going to love this episode.
