ASTI - ep9, building a business from a personal problem + new launch announcement!

hey everyone, it is super nice to be back and speaking with you all from a new location... NYC AKA THE BIG APPLE 🗽- WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ASTI IN THE COMING MONTHS (listen in for the announcement) i come with good news and new episodes! ⁠⁠⁠⁠The podcast is back! and better; with a new name and a broader topic. ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Asti is a entrepreneur at heart, and now the founder & CEO of Invyted, a app that simplifies the process of inviting content creators to your location! And it has received fundraising from the likes of the Leon founder (Asti touches on how this deal came about in the pod 😁) For all the listeners who are unsure about creating that business which would make their life much easier, Asti's story serves as one of the best examples I have come across of converting a personal problem into a fully-fledged business! Asti first began her journey by being a food blogger, in our uni town of Bath, where she was exposed to the problem statement behind Invyted. The process of visiting a restaurant or any establishment required 10+ emails, which is when Asti realised there was a more delicate solution here. My chat with Asti was super insightful into the world of creating a business from scratch, identifying a key problem in a vertical you are intimate with and growing pains as a 1st time CEO!
