Nic Gaviria: entrepreneur and Binge Free Bestie founder on winning the opportunity to be mentored by Steven Bartlett - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Christchurch entrepreneur Nic Gaviria's business idea designed to address binge eating has landed a new major supporter - and a cash boost.

Gaviria was selected from 16,000 business owners around the world to be mentored by Steven Bartlett, a Dragon's Den investor and host of the Diary of a CEO podcast.

She says it's been extremely 'validating' to have the business recognized.  

"I saw this competition pop up in an ad on my social media and I thought - you know what, I could win that. I just had this gut feeling that what I'm doing in the world might be something he might get behind."
