The Part Listeners Didn't Skip: They Launched A Food App in 6 Months With Just a WhatsApp Group - from our conversation with Co-Founder of Olio App, Tessa Clarke
from Tomorrow's Bites with Andrés and Sjacco · host Andrés and Sjacco
How do you validate a startup idea without spending a cent on tech?By being scrappy, fast, and obsessed with solving a real problem.In this 8-minute episode, we hear how Tessa Clarke and her co-founder tested Olio with just a WhatsApp group—and how a simple food share (a bag of shallots!) unlocked their conviction to go all in.Instead of raising capital for a perfect product, they built an MVP that was only slightly better than WhatsApp. But that was enough.What followed was a surprising twist: people loved the idea so much, they had no food to share.So they launched the Food Waste Heroes program. And now, 135,000+ trained volunteers are redistributing food across communities.From idea to impact, this is the mindset every founder should hear.In 8 minutes, you’ll see how the best startups begin. With simplicity, speed, and strangers.Listen to the whole conversation with Tessa here.👋 GET IN TOUCH WITH US👥 Linkedin 📸 Instagram🌎Website
