It is no easy feat to make serious changes in any business field. However, some people are making big waves. The last few years have seen so many industries be disruptive with new technology, new ways to deliver products and services and micro businesses.
The tech industry has skyrocketed, to heights that no one saw coming. There are many people driving change in their own sectors too. Let’s take a look at some of the game-changing women of the last few years.
Elsa Bernadotte – Eco Queen
Zero waste is not only a buzzword, but it is also entirely possible. The founder of the Karma app, Elsa Bernadotte connects grocers, cafes and restaurants to customers who want to buy food products at massively discounted prices.
It has been labelled as one of the hottest startups in Europe and with good reason. Not only does this mean that the food waste created by the food industry is kept low (if they’re using the app, of course,) but it means people have to spend a little less on their own food shop and can cook and eat fresh food every day.
Unsold food is still fresh, but it no longer adheres to food standards set for many establishments, the Karma app fixes that.
Shao-Ning Huang – Funding Angel
The co-founder and chief angle for AngelCentral. The big name in making angel investments to smaller start-up companies. AngelCentral works across Southeast Asia. This Singapore based company has well over 500 angel investors that have been linked to start-ups. Of those startups, most, if not all, are aimed at making positive global changes.
Not only is she making a significant impact on many a start-up with funding and finances, she also is a consultant to tech startups. AND, an avid supporter or women-founded companies.
