How This Tech CEO Turned Her Struggles Into Lessons For Success

In this episode, I sit down with Kimberley Taylor, the CEO, and Founder of Loop. During her 3rd year studying chemical engineering at the University of Witswatersrand (WITS). She wrote an algorithm aimed at solving the traveling salesman problem. After understanding how it could solve some real-world problems in the logistics space, she raised capital to build Cowa Bunga - the platform that would make operations run smoothly and reliably, all at 23 years old. 

Now to date the company has become Loop and has partnered with some of South Africa's biggest food delivery services, from winning the MTN Enterprise App of the year award in 2018, to creating employment opportunities and raking up even more awards since then, Kimberley talks about the not so glamorous side of entrepreneurship as a woman in the industry and opens up about certain personal struggles she identified and overcame on her journey.
