In 2018, Lottie Dalziel scribbled down a New Year's resolution: Do better for the planet. Unlike most of us, she actually followed through.
Frustrated by the lack of practical and authentic eco-friendly products on the market, Lottie decided she’d take matters into her own hands. While most startups take years to refine their product, test the market, and strategise their launch, Lottie built Banish – a marketplace and education platform focused on environmental responsibility – in just two weeks.
Her secret? A low risk, cost-effective approach and a willingness to let her customers feedback shape the start-up... This is how she turned a gap in the market into an expanding business.
