tech for good meetup 10.11.14 digital mums
DESCRIPTION
At the Tech For Good Meetup in London Nikki Cochrane and Kathryn Tyler spoke candidly about the highs and lows of their startup journey to date. Digital Mums is a service which trains and mentors mums to become online community managers, connecting them with promising new businesses who need their help to get digital. We were thrilled to hear that Digital Mums have secured funding from Big Issue Invest, which will enable the team to work on the project full time. We can’t wait to see this grow!TRANSCRIPT
