Sonia Couto on Launching a Business While Fighting Cancer, Investor Funding, Resilience, and Healthy Entrepreneurship

Today I’m sitting down with Sonia Couto, a two-time startup founder and managing director of Konverge Digital Solutions. Sonia shares her incredible journey of launching her first company while she was battling breast cancer. She has amazing insights for any entrepreneur wanting to dip their toe into the tech world, or really any entrepreneur who is thinking about getting funding. We talk specifically about the pros and cons of angel investing and VC backed funding versus bootstrapping, when’s the right time to get funding, and more about setting up your business for success financially speaking.

We also chat a bit about her health and wellness journey, including how to identify harmful ingredients in products and how to build healthy habits that actually work for you.
