We welcome our very first guest, Mench Dizon, in this episode of For A While. Mench wears many hats including tech entrepreneur, corporate innovation consultant, mother, wife and athlete. She is a 4x founder, a strong advocate for women in tech, and a very impressive Six-Star World Marathon Majors finisher.


Currently, she is a Business Development Consultant at 917 Ventures. Her most recent start-up is Area63 Fitness, a project that came about as a response to health and wellness needs amidst the pandemic.


Mench follows her curiosity and this has kept her centered, creative and content despite the times.


In this episode, we talk about SMEs, digital transformation, e-commerce, consumer behaviors and home businesses, as well as the importance in believing in yourself, following your intuition, testing your ideas, and pivoting.
