The conversation delves deep into crucial aspects of business development, from initial market research to scaling operations across Australia. Sophie and Katherine emphasize how their friendship in business has strengthened through clear role division and mutual respect, while their commitment to maintaining food quality and authentic home-cooked meals has been their primary competitive advantage.

"Find your community. If you're building in clean tech or, you know, agritech, it doesn't matter. Like news or whatever, find where your people are. Find that community. Talk to them. Peers are so important, it doesn't matter. Even if they're competitors to you. You know, people start from one point and they end up somewhere else completely. So it doesn't really matter. There is enough room for everyone to sort of thrive in that industry."
Priyanka and Shannon share their journey from non-tech backgrounds in finance and consultancy to creating a tech platform that is gaining significant traction and backing from industry giants like Snapchat.
