My wonderful guest this week is Caroline Hughes, Founder of Lifetise and finanical feminist. In this episode Caroline tells us about starting her business Lifetise, the financial modelling platform helping us to take big life actions like buying a house and starting a family. Caroline’s approach to building her tech business with such a strong social mission is truly inspiring. We talk about the reality for female founders in the UK in terms of raising capital, seeking the right investors and what we can do to improve it. Plus, Caroline shares some advice for all the perfectionists out there… Enjoy!
