    Digitising Service Economies: from idea to scale-up #71

    Andy Callaghan was an experienced programmer and musician when we realised there was a significant gap in the music studio booking experience. Everything was either managed offline, or handled via one-size-fits-all booking apps that didn't cater to the specific demands and challenges of bands and studios.   If sometimes founders create a solution for themselves without an addressable market to go after, this definitely wasn't the case with Andy and Jammed. Unfortunately, Covid was just around the corner, with national lockdown in the UK temporarily closing his potential first customers.   Nearly five years later and that challenging beginning is a distant memory, with 110 customers hailing from all over the world. Jammed's story is one of resilience, perseverance and using personal experience to develop a world-class product.

    Getting Your House in Order: Democratising personal financial management #69

    Richard Dana has been working in finance, in one way or another, for two decades, so it's safe to say he knows a thing or two about money.   After starting out his career as a chartered accountant, Richard became Chief Financial Officer at Founders Factory Ltd in 2016, before launching Tembo Money in 2020. Tembo's mission is to democratise the concept of the 'Family Office'—a way for families to manage their money more effectively together, and something that previously had been the reserve of the wealthiest in society. During this conversation with Richard we touched on some really important and interesting topics, I hope you enjoy it! Links from the episode Find Richard on LinkedIn Tembo Hosted on Acast.
