Our "Pilot" episode for "Entrepreneurs on eScooters" is the wild, featuring Allison Nikula, founder of CareApp.
A very, very different way of telling a great story. You really need to see the video of this interview: www.entrepreneursonescooters.com
Allison was inspired to create CareApp through her own personal experience seeing her grandparents access aged care services. CareApp is a powerful communication and engagement platform for aged care providers. It brings providers, residents, carers, and families together to build a wonderful care community and support seniors to love the way they live.
And it's no small task - ageing population is on the rise with the percentage of Australians aged 65 and over rising dramatically over the past decades*:
1927 - 5% of the total population aged 65 and over
1977 - 9% of the total population aged 65 and over
2017 - 15% of the total population aged 65 and over
Allison and I discuss her journey from idea through to today where she has customers locally and globally:
- How to build a tech company when you don’t have a tech background
- The importance of customer feedback in product development
- The process around pitching to Investors (inc a scary example of when it doesn't go well!)
- Why having an “exit strategy” is essentialwhen you’re founding a business
A huge thank you to Allison for being our very 1st "Entrepreneur on eScooter".
This interview was recorded in January 2020 (pre-Covid19). As a pilot episode, it's not perfect - a few issues with some of the audio/camera shots, etc, but overall, it is a great overview of what we will producing in future episodes (which are likely to be a little shorter as well).
Until next time….keep INNOVATING, OVERCOMING and PROSPERING

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
