ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Summary
Holly’s story starts at the Startup World Cup in Melbourne, where she participated in a competition that limited pitches to just two minutes. Despite the brevity, Holly’s passion and innovative thinking shone through, catching the attention of many, including our host, David Kenney.
Holly recalls, "When you only have two minutes, it’s essential to convey how you think, not just what your idea is." This mindset has been crucial in her journey, allowing her to stand out in a crowded field of startups.
Fast forward a few months, Holly secured $1.5 million in funding, showcasing her determination to succeed. She reflects on the moment she received her Forbes 30 Under 30 notification while having a tough day, illustrating the unpredictable nature of startup life. "I pulled over, thinking it was a scam until I Googled my name and saw it was real!" This moment marked a significant milestone in her entrepreneurial journey.
Holly’s inspiration for Wable came during the pandemic while watching the show "Love on the Spectrum." She recognized a gap in the dating market for the neurodivergent community, which comprises about 20% of the population. Holly’s vision was to create an inclusive platform that would cater to their unique needs.
