Jess Saumarez: Find me in a field and that is probably my happy place
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Jess Saumarez, is a co-founder of Hedira and a serial entrepreneur. She has been in the start up space since leaving University.

We talk to Jess about how she's a "flyer" not a "fighter" under stress. We ask her how she has successfully found a co-founder and mentors (clue: she has never had to ask for mentors). She has a pragmatic approach to entrepreneurship, which we have learnt a lot from and we hope you do too.

SPOILER: just like Zara, Jess gets mistaken for a waitress at investor events. The issue is not with the women - it is with the conscious and unconscious bias in the industry.
