Going Above and Beyond to Economically Empower Women, with Sharmadean Reid

Sharmadean Reid is the Founder and CEO of The Stack World — a platform that helps women monetise their communities, and equip women with the tools they need to excel in their field.

As one of the 10 Black female entrepreneurs in the UK this past decade who's raised venture capital, Sharmadean is undeniably a force to be reckoned with. Committed to her personal values and helping women reach their full potential, she is the prime example of someone who is amazing at bringing her ideas into action.

Today on The Wallet:

1. Sharmadean talks about how she came to be conscious of the many obstacles that women face in trying to reach their full potential, how this inspired her to create The Stack World, and the importance of aligning her personal values with the company’s culture.

2. Running a tech business isn’t easy, but Sharmadean says that she’s learned a huge amount in the process, so she shares her experience of fundraising and being a founder in general.

3. Growing up, Sharmadean didn’t have a sense of financial security, which impacted her money mindset in adulthood. Sharmadean tells us about the work she’s put in to make a shift in her relationship with money.
