A Retrospective Guide to Founding an App Company with George Fairhall (WAC)
Description
In this episode I talk with George Fairhall, founder of award winning start-up, WAC.
WAC gives more control to hourly paid workers, and combats issues such as underpayment which is a big problem in hourly paid jobs which are often undertaken by younger people.
George founded the business 4 years ago and has been on a journey from then, made all the more interesting by the fact George is non-technical founder.
I talk to George about her journey as a non technical founder, the challenges she’s faced and importantly we talk through what George knows now, that she wished she knew 4 years ago on how to found an app business.
