Women Tech Charge

Michelle Kennedy, Peanut: breaking stigma, making connections and failing forward

When Michelle Kennedy became a mother, she needed a safe place online to connect with other mums. She couldn't find it... so she built it. Her app Peanut has become an international brand, was featured on the Apple Store as App of the day, and has attracted investment from the likes of Ashton Kutcher. Her story is a masterclass in turning a problem you're passionate about into a successful startup idea, and the power of tech to bring people together.
