*Revisiting* Fuelling Business Success with Technology and Livelihood with Karen Joyce and Tracey Sheen
*This episode was originally published on 5 October 2023.*
Women might be starting more businesses than ever before, but lack of access to capital is the #1 reason we struggle to stay in business. That’s according to data from the Dell Technologies 2023 WE Cities Index report that measures the “fuel” behind the most successful global female founders. At Mums & Co we refer to that “fuel” as livelihood, the systems and processes you have put in place to protect your money and time, so you can focus on the parts of the business you love, while continuing to grow. For most business owners, technology plays a very big role here. Today’s Mumbition guests are both business owning women who have put technology at the forefront of what they do. Karen Joyce, founder of She Maps and Geo Nadir and a member of DWEN, the Dell women’s entrepreneur network. And Tracy Sheen, Mums & Co technology expert and founder of The Digital Guide.
This episode is brought to you by DWEN the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network. For more than a decade, DWEN has brought women entrepreneurs together from around the world to help them connect, scale their businesses, and ultimately succeed.
