Joining us on the podcast this week is Kelly Emery, an accomplished fintech founder turned social entrepreneur. In 2021, she launched Troop, a social enterprise that makes it easier for small and midsize businesses to practice corporate social responsibility, engage employees, and make a difference in their neighborhoods. Kelly is a trailblazer in the ‘tech for good’ space using technology to unleash generosity in communities.
As a DMZ Women of the Year award recipient, Kelly’s leadership in the Canadian technology ecosystem pre-dates Troop. In 2008, she co-founded RateSupermarket.ca, Canada's first financial service marketplace, which was acquired by Kanetix Ltd in 2013. Kelly is an experienced executive and successful entrepreneur who is driven by her vision: to build communities where no basic needs go unmet.
Kelly is a purpose-driven entrepreneur, one that has found a way to marry her skill sets, experience and interests to solve a big problem in the landscape of giving and fulfilling community needs. Her purpose is one that inspires me and I know it will inspire you too!
In this episode we talk about:
- Starting a side hustle and how you don’t need a ton of capital or experience to start (you just need to start)
- Why it is important to start small, be scrappy and truly understand the problem and your stakeholders before launching
- How to discover your purpose by taking time and space to understand how you can be of service to others
- Living to your full potential and so much more!
