How to Help 5 Million People Save the Planet Whilst Still Making Pick Up – Interview with Saasha Celestial-One, Co-Founder & COO of OLIO, #1 Free Sharing App
Saasha Celestial-One is the Co-Founder & COO of OLIO, the food-sharing app. When Saasha & Tessa Clarke (her Co-Founder) both became mothers they decided they wanted to found a socially impactful business together that would work around their families. A chance discussion around food waste and how frustrated Tessa had found herself when unable to give away some spare food before she went on holiday, sparked the idea for fighting food waste with the app OLIO.
OLIO is now the #1 free sharing app that allows users to give and get free stuff, fight waste and save the planet whilst helping neighbours within their community.
I loved this chat with Saasha because not only is she a truly inspirational entrepreneur (she and Tessa just raised a $43 million Series B round to help more people fight waste globally), also does all of this around her family and her wellbeing. Tessa does the same - they've created and model the working world that works for them.
