They will share their stories, their business journey and their advice to make your idea a reality, from launch to impact. She shared with us keys to success and precious advice for every entrepreneur. After I graduated, I moved to London. When I was about to leave University, I was at a birthday party with high school friends, a guy just asked me if I had a job. I did not have a job lined up, so he just offered me one. I graduated on a Wednesday and on Monday, I started working in advertising post-production.
We used to work on basically any ad campaign, executing it, translating it for all different platforms and channels from buses, magazines, or newspapers. After two years, I went to work with a branding agency, and with a client in the dating business.
He had made a large number of dating platforms, he was looking for different ideas and I learned a lot working with them about the industry. I felt really powerful to be part of that community and I loved it!
It was and Tinder had not started yet at that time. I was using this ugly website, that was the main platform women used for dating but it did not reflect at all what I would see in the night scene.
The experience was bad and it did not make me feel good using it. My friend used to be on Grindr and we loved how empowering it was. Gay men had opportunities they never had, that even straight people never had, to find who was also single and connect and chat in the same immediate way. It was a real game-changer and I am still admirative. This sense of immediacy was a big part of the transformation of how people saw meeting someone from the Internet.
