👋 Meet Meet Chantal Brine, Founder & CEO of EnPoint

💼 EnPoint exists to help people connect their passion to their career- we’re on a mission to support 1 million people do just that.

💚 Her advice for other women who have a start-up idea?

I think there’s still a lot of narrative in the world around the concept of “work/life balance” as “a thing”. We only have one life- period. Balance is what each of us interprets that to be for our own lives and well-being.

AWESOME!! GO get it, girl!!

That being said, there are also things you need to consider before diving in, you also need to be on a constant review so that your business stay competitive and relevant. Most importantly, do not let emotions get the better of you. Many of us have beautiful, great, world-changing ideas, however, it is also equally important to grounded and realistic with what the world actually needs. Most of the time, numbers do not lie.

👋 Meet Tieja MacLaughlin, Founder of TIEJA Inc. Communications

🎤 TIEJA Inc. is a boutique communications firm specializing in corporate communications, crisis management, and public relations.

💚 Her advice for other women who have a start-up idea?

Just go for it. If you have tenacity, grit and resourcefulness, you’ll be able to figure out what you don’t know along the way. Statistically speaking, women are more risk-averse than men, which translates to fewer women taking risk with start-ups or side projects. However, studies have also shown that women-led businesses ultimately deliver higher revenues than those founded by men, making women-owned companies better investments for financial backers. Think of all the great ideas that women are just sitting on, and haven’t executed due to fear, imposter syndrome, or any other variety of reasons. The world needs those ideas.

Hiring for a startup is hard.

Talent on tradition job boards like LinkedIn aren't as willing to live the startup life.

Our community of builders are passionate about solving big challenges and love to get their hands dirty.
