Solo-founder of Kiddiwhizz, Zoë Chapman, shares how risking it all for her invention led to double investment on Dragon’s Den.
After noticing a vast gap in the market during the pandemic, the 39-year-old mum of

Struggling against traditional expectations, Zoë offers a unique perspective on overcoming obstacles, harnessing creativity, and challenging conventional norms to achieve success. With authenticity and resilience, she demonstrates how neurodivergence can provide a fresh lens for innovation and inspire others to embrace their own individual capabilities. Join us on this episode of Sound Advice: Entrepreneurs Unfiltered to explore how you too can defy the odds and grow a unique business.
