    Delusion or Vision? Knowing When to Keep Going | Siddhi Mehta

    In this episode of Sisterpreneurs Talk, the host Jennifer and selected sisterpreneur Celine sit down with Siddhi Mehta, founder of Rhythm 108, who shares her story going from selling cookies at a local market to building a multimillion manufacturing empire! Siddhi's early path through a degree at Oxford and joining McKinsey pointed straight to a corporate career. Then she moved to Switzerland and discovered something completely different: a deep Swiss respect for craftsmanship and chocolate, and at the same time, a growing demand for sustainable products. That contrast sparked an idea, and soon she was renting a bakery kitchen and testing her treats at a local market, a few weeks later she started recognizing the faces coming back, and knew there was a business. She speaks candidly about months of silence from retailers, sitting in tears at the kitchen table giving herself one last month, and the email from Boots that arrived just in time. She also reflects on three stalled years through COVID, war and inflation, the fine line between delusion and reality every founder walks, and why she is fully open with her whole team. This is a story about believing big, starting small, and building the resilience muscle one heartbreak at a time. 🎙️ Sponsored by DYN, the fiduciary standing behind women entrepreneurs in Switzerland. 🏢 Hosted by Spaces, workspaces with a vibrant community, empowering creativity and collaboration. This is Sisterpreneurs Talk, where we keep it real, celebrate both success and failure, and remind you that you are never alone on this rollercoaster journey.

    Raising CHF 140M as a Woman in Finance | Marion Fogli, Alpian Bank

    In this episode of Sisterpreneurs Talk, hosts sit down with Marion Fogli, Co-founder of Alpian, Switzerland's first digital private bank, Co-founder of SheWealth, Founder of Finance Made Human and Author of book 289 CHF. Marion opens up about the moment that changed everything: sitting in a wealth management meeting and realizing she wasn't seeing numbers on a page but people, dreams, and fears. That shift became the seed for everything she's built since. She speaks candidly about raising CHF 140 million in capital as a woman in finance, the uncomfortable reality that female founders are asked about risk while male founders are asked about growth, and why she believes women must learn to redirect those questions and answer with horizon thinking. She also shares the deeply personal story behind SheWealth, co-created during her divorce, and how turning pain into purpose helped countless women find a safe, judgment-free space to talk about money. From the Patrouille des Glaciers to late nights questioning everything, Marion reflects on resilience, leadership, and the philosophy she now lives by: a project is never you. It is just a vehicle. Your mission lives inside you. This is a story about seeing people behind numbers, daring to build what doesn't yet exist, and finding the courage to stand up one more time than you fall. 🎙 Proudly sponsored by Novum Partners, empowering founders and fostering innovation across the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This is Sisterpreneurs Talk, where we keep it real, celebrate both success and failure, and remind you that you are never alone on this rollercoaster journey.

From cold-calling business angels to facing the brutal reality of COVID closures(—when revenue dropped to zero overnight!)—Ellen reflects on resilience, community, leadership, and the marathon mindset required to survive and grow. This is a story about spotting a gap in the market, daring to challenge the status quo, and building not just gyms, but a nationwide community built on accessibility, quality where it matters, and unwavering determination.
