THE GT STORY PROJECT - W.FOUNDER
We started Triciclo as a social media agency - that was the real goal, but fortunately, we pivoted right on time when we saw that the social media market was completely saturated and yet saw a huge opportunity in the e-commerce field. Mexico was lightyears away from the US e-commerce scene at the time. I feel like I started at 25 because I had nothing to lose at the time, and that is when I met my business partners (which made sense).
Read MoreMy chess life inspired me. Through 22 beautiful years and my childhood in chess, I've learned a lot about this specific wonderful world, but I also saw what lacks. As chess gave me everything, I decided to give my best to empower chess by transferring the traditional into the digital world so these beautiful people can connect worldwide. The 21st century is the best timing to start a tech company, also the well-known TY show - Queens Gambit - seemed like a momentum to start.
Read MoreI wanted to start Lulibo Market almost 5 years ago. I had this idea to start a platform where I would share my transition from buying from big businesses to almost exclusively supporting small, local, black-owned brands. My goal was to amplify the work of black creatives, innovators, and entrepreneurs and to inspire more people to do the same. I then realized that so many people were going through this collective consciousness with regards to more purpose-driven consumerism. However, even though finding sustainable, ethical and eco-conscious brands was becoming easier, it was still difficult to find BIPOC-owned brands. So I moved from wanting to show people how I journeyed into shopping black to wanting more people to do the same. And with any movement, it is always easier to get people to join in if you make it as easy as possible. There came Lulibo Market, a one-stop-shop where you could find anything from dishwashing liquid to earrings to candles to skincare all BIPOC-owned.
Read MoreI created Aneta because I, and every working parent I knew, was desperate for a solution to help make sure that kids were having a safe and productive time on the internet without us having to be omnipresent. During the COVID quarantines, what before was a nuisance became a huge source of stress and had an impact on my income, as I was forced to take three months off my client service work.
Read MoreI laid the foundations of this business in July 2019. While I was brainstorming about business ideas with my family, my mother explained how my grandmother got herself and her siblings educated by doing handicrafts at home and earned a living for the house in this way. When I heard this, I thought that thousands of housewives needed additional income, their hand-made skills and they could support the family economy. Assuming that a virtual market that can realize this can reach handicraft workers in every corner of our country, I bought my domain address that night and laid the foundations of my work that I love very much.

Read MoreI am a tech entrepreneur who wanted to grow a business organically to make it sustainable. The end result is Canvas Planner - one of the only female-founded bootstrapped tech companies in Denmark. I simply believed I could bring a smarter and better tool to the productivity field, and I wanted to help people get a more healthy work-life but also to create a healthy work-life for myself.
