Louise Doherty left her career in strategic consumer marketing to create an app start-up that simplifies any kind of social event, after realising how complex it can sometimes be. Yoller has been featured by Apple and Google as one of the best apps for socialising in over 100 countries.
Louise successfully raised £380K via Crowd Cube. She found the crowdfunding process much easier to understand compared with seeking VC investment. This approach also meant finding early users of the Yoller app.
