In this engaging episode of NiceTo's Startup Palette Show Live proudly supported by Investment NSW, Lauren Humphrey shares her journey from a childhood surrounded by strong women to becoming a powerful advocate for women founders. Lauren recounts her early years, influenced by her hardworking mother and grandmother, and how she initially saw no gender imbalance. She reveals her passion for horse riding, which she developed through hard work and negotiation skills at a young age. Lauren discusses her educational path in organisational psychology at Harvard, the life-changing lessons it brought, and how it shaped her approach to building and leading teams at AthenaHealth, Gusto, BrightWheel, and her own ventures, The Mintable and Tandem. She provides insights into the challenges and successes of scaling businesses, and the importance of investing in people, and offers valuable advice on sales, management, and finding product-market fit. Her story is a testament to resilience, community building, and the power of female mentorship. #WomenInLeadership #FemaleFounders #OrganizationalPsychology #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Resilience #WomenEmpowerment Connect with Lauren - LinkedIn - The Mintable Proudly supported by Investment NSW Investment NSW drives economic growth and prosperity for the people of NSW by bringing together business, government and priority markets to deliver on the government’s strategic priorities and boost the state’s innovation, industry, investment and trade.
