Creating a new class of nutrients: bioactive human proteins for people of all ages - with Laura Katz, Founder of Helaina

This is Laura Katz for Female Startup ClubHello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.On today’s episode we’re chatting with Laura Katz. Laura is the founder of a company called Helaina. Helaina invented a biomanufacturing platform to recreate the bioactive proteins in human milk and throughout the human body for functional food and supplements. They "teach" yeast to replicate these human proteins using precision fermentation. Isn’t that amazing? God I love modern science and technology! Laura has always been obsessed with food and her career followed that true love and passion into food science. In this episode we talk through Laura’s big lightbulb moment, how she approached raising capital with no network and no experience in her early 20s and how you get a big idea like this through to commercialisation. Because it’s definitely not straightforward. This episode blew my mind and I’d love to know what you think about it so join me in the Facebook group to chat more!Let’s dive in, this is Laura for Female Startup ClubLINKS WE MENTION:Laura's TwitterHelaina's WebsiteThe C-Word PodcastTim Ferris' PodcastDiary of a CEO PodcastLaura's LinkedInJoin the FSC CLUB & Ask Your Questions: www.facebook.com/groups/femalestartupclubJoin thousands of small business owners who are reading our newsletter every Monday at: www.femalestartupclub.com Join our tool and private community for small business owners, Majic [formerly known as Hype Club]Female Startup Club's InstagramDoone's InstagramDoone's TikTokSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com Hosted on Acast.

6 quick questions with Pascale Helyar-Moray, Founder of Super Rewards (Part 2)

This is Pascale Helyar-Moray for Female Startup ClubHello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.Today on the show we’re chatting with Pascale from Grow My Money (previously known as Super Rewards). Did you know that in Australia 1 in 3 single women retire in poverty, and 1 in 6 women overall retire into poverty. That’s a very scary and very real stat. Now there’s multiple factors that play into that statistic but one of them has to do with our superannuation. If you’re listening in from outside of Australia - superannuation is kind of like a 401k in America, or your state pension in the UK. Over the course of your career, your employee puts money into something you can’t touch until you retire - and that money significantly grows over the course of 30+ years so that when you retire, you have a chunk of cash to live off. Simply put. And men retire with almost double the superannuation kitty than women do. And with that in mind Pascale wanted to do something about it. This is a real eye opener and I would love to know what you think about it - come and chat with us in the Facebook group.Let’s get into todays’ episode, this is Pascale for Female Startup ClubLINKS WE MENTION:Pascale's LinkedInSuper Rewards' LinkedInAtomic Habits BookAIA Vitality AppSpriggy AppJoin the FSC CLUB & Ask Your Questions: www.facebook.com/groups/femalestartupclubJoin thousands of small business owners who are reading our newsletter every Monday at: www.femalestartupclub.com Join our tool and private community for small business owners, Majic [formerly known as Hype Club]Female Startup Club's InstagramDoone's InstagramDoone's TikTokSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com Hosted on Acast.
