    Verity Tuck: Seizing momentum, and championing progress not perfection

    If you were to ask businesswomen Verity Tuck and Esther Oh what their former floristry and med-tech companies have in common, you would hear the same answer - purpose. Verity, Co-Founder of LVLY flowers, bootstrapped her way to a momentous exit after years of hard work and dedication to the idea of making everyone’s day brighter. The buyout then fuelled her new business, Goldee, an AI personal assistant for busy families. Alongside host Mim Rizvi, Verity tells Esther, the CEO and Founder of Agili8, a med-tech company born out of the toughest of circumstances – the loss of her son’s sight - exactly how she did it. They discuss balancing work with parenthood, why getting intimate with your numbers is crucial to success (even when the balance sheet is frightening!), and what to look out for when building early-stage teams.
