So this week, we opened up the discussion on ‘Where Business Meets Impact: The Future of Responsible Entrepreneurship’, and were lucky enough to hear many views and insights from our speakers.

First of all, a huge thank you to Iwoca for welcoming us all into your incredible venue and hosting the event.

Thank you to Lara Gilman (Iwoca), Cynthia Davis (BAME Recruitment), Ash Ali (Uhubs) and Wai-Foong (Matchable), who shared a goldmine of useful tips, advice and personal stories with us. Here’s what we touched on:

• Lara discussed how new ideas get to traction and the impact of process in reaching your goals as an entrepreneur. “Learn from others’ processes.”

• Cynthia shared her journey in becoming an entrepreneur and founding Diversifying. “As an entrepreneur It is difficult and tough but is the most rewarding thing you will ever do.”
