Helen proposed a concept for upskilling care workers that was well received and, just a year later, her entrepreneurial journey began. Two years later, she was focused on the business full time.

TrustCloud

TrustCloud, f.k.a. Kintent, is a “trust assurance platform to turn GRC (governance, risk & compliance) into a profit center”. Founder Sravish Sridhar started the company in 2020 after previously starting, scaling and selling a backend as a service (BaaS) startup by the name of Kinvey to Progress in 2017. I think he wanted to convey the intent that he was ready to help reinvent the back office again. And in a much bigger way. Is that too much?

I got in 3 fender benders before my 18th birthday. And one of them wasn’t my fault, ok? Communication is critical!
