From co-CEO of Badoo, a dating-focused social network worth over a billion, to sitting on the advisory board for Bumble to launching her in own app in 2017 with co-founder of Deliveroo Greg Orlowski, Michelle Kennedy is a force to be reckoned with. She is the Founder of Peanut, an app that connects like-minded women who happen to be mothers. Her aim? To help solve a problem for women who are entering the massive, life-changing and sometimes lonely experience of having a baby by finding them a trusted, friendly support network. Combining everything she knows about dating and romantic relationships, Michelle brings a unique perspective to her work, and in just 3 short years her app Peanut has had over 10 million messages shared, 100m profile views and has over 650k users. In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, we discuss the loneliness of founding a business, the challenges of getting investment as a women and mental-health issues that can arise as a result of the all-consuming story of entrepreneurship. I found this conversation with Michelle incredibly inspirational, and I hope you do to.
