The Art of Resilience: Insights from Women Founders

"We're not superwomen; we are people who have to make choices every day." - Sharon Roper

As female founders in the Caribbean, we face unique challenges that can be difficult to navigate. This is where your community comes in.

Having a supportive network of other female entrepreneurs can make all the difference. Today I’m joined by three members of the RevUp family, Sharon Roper, Founder and Managing Director of Sian Associates; Trudy-Ann Fung, Co-Founder of Electroville Limited; and Narda Ventura, CEO of SkyBlue Transaction Solutions. Our guests share their experiences as female founders, and we discuss entrepreneurship, leadership, and the challenges faced by startups.

In this conversation, we discuss common reasons startups fail to deliver positive value to their investors, balancing emotions and data in decision-making, and the challenges of managing a business while also being a mother and wife. The discussion offers insights and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs on how to navigate the challenges of building a successful startup. Enjoy the episode!
