Eureka moment?

I was travelling on business through Dusseldorf airport, when I dropped a large bag containing numerous different tablets, pills and supplements. I had to scrabble around in my suit, picking them up off the floor. I'm a registered nutritionist and thought, There must be a better way to do this. This sparked the idea of a personalised nutrition gummy with all the vitamins and minerals you need in one simple solution.
Finance
Achieving the highest seed round ever by a UK-based female founder for Nourished's parent firm, Rem3dy Health, in 2020. I feel very fortunate and proud to have been able to get plenty of other financial backing for my business visions. Female-led UK companies received just 1.8% of private equity funding in the first half of 2024 - that figure needs to change.
Regrets?
My first pitch to an investor was a 29-slide deck. I thought I had to cover everything. At the end, the investor kindly pointed out that industry-standard decks are just three to four slides. I was mortified and it was lesson I've never forgotten.

What would you changed?
I launched Nourished just over two months before the COVID pandemic hit. But every experience, whether it felt like a success or a setback at the time, has taught me something important and shaped the way I lead, problem solve and pushed me to think differently.
