Episode 10: Mum’s the word - Justine Roberts

You’ve got the big idea but no funds, do you go it alone or take up a problematic partnership?

In this episode of Make or Break, we meet founder of Mumsnet, Justine Roberts, who through sheer perseverance, grew a penniless new internet business into the UK’s biggest network network for parents.

At the turn of the millennium, the dotcom bubble was about to burst when Roberts found herself raising funds for a new internet business. Inexperienced and coming up against reluctant investors and troubling terms and conditions, Roberts found herself in a difficult position, call it quits or change her tack.
