This is a recording of the Virgin StartUp MeetUp that took place in February 2021. Get your tickets to our next MeetUp from virginstartup.org/events.

In the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s a challenging time to start a business. But in challenging times, opportunities arise for founders wanting to make a difference. Opportunities to fix problems, innovate, adapt and grow.

If you’re thinking of starting up, or are working hard to pivot your business, this MeetUp is for you.

Our host, Virgin StartUp advisor and founder of Rebel Book Club, Ben Keene, spoke to three lockdown entrepreneurs to set out a clear plan of action for would-be founders contemplating starting up, and established founders looking to pivot.

Featuring:

Ayesha Pakravan, founder of custom hospitality business, The Plattery, and not-for-profit tackling food poverty, Vital Meals Hannah Adams, founder of launched in lockdown Pieces of the Puzzle, a sustainable, wellbeing-first puzzle company Roshanne Dorsett, founder of health and eco-conscious skincare startup, The Glowcery
