Follow your curiosity

No one is good at everything. Figure out the one thing you’re really good at and just work your ass off. If you can’t code – write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. Carve out a niche for yourself. 

A one woman show, with 15,000+ subscribers

I founded Femstreet, a newsletter for women in tech and venture, back in 2017. I built an email list, grew the list with free content, and now monetise it with a subscription. Femstreet’s online community allows professionals to connect with and learn from peers and experts, leverage resources and discover career opportunities. I have met incredible people through Femstreet, many of the relationships grew into wonderful friendships.
