Female Founder Stories: Beyond the CV
It’s tough for grads right now – application volumes are higher than ever and, in some industries, the number of roles have dropped (more on that another time).
Standing out has never been harder.
So people are getting creative. They’re learning desirable skills in their own ways beyond the classroom: starting Etsy shops, self-taught content creators, little league coaches, online tutoring.
The superstars of Gen Z are hustlers – defining what it really means to build ‘portfolio careers’ – and we’re so here for it.
It’s why we started Vizzy. And it’s why Vizzy Co-founder Jess said yes to being part of Siya Kantaria’s interview series, ‘Female Founder Stories – women at the top, told by a teen’.
Siya launched the series last year to stretch herself – honing her skills as a researcher, interviewer, and producer and building something that’s entirely her own. A real passion project, with a clear eye on the future.
She’s already interviewed some incredible women, including Joanna Jensen (Child’s Farm), Vivien Wong (Little Moons) and Alison Rose DBE.
We’re honoured that Siya wanted to share Vizzy’s story with her peers.
