#6: Dropping Out of School at 15 to raising £100,000 at 21 – Lydia Jones

In the conversation, I spoke to Lydia Jones, the founder of Housemates (www.housemates.io); a platform that streamlines the whole process of booking student accommodation for both landlords and students. Having dropped out of school at the age of 15 to recently securing £100,000 in funding for her start-up at just 21, we talk about the process behind this along with other lessons she has learnt on her serial entrepreneur journey starting from selling turkeys in Manchester at age 12.
