2022

Congratulations to Danielle Lawrence of https://freyda.io/. She impressed the jury with a future-proof product, strong business model and financial performance.

There was such a high caliber of nominees for the Award, and I didn’t think we’d be in with a chance. I think that’s really inspiring in a way – there is a significant shift happening in terms of fintech founders coming from more diverse backgrounds, and it is really empowering to see so many amazing female entrepreneurs in the front of that change.
