Friends come in many forms. When you go through a challenging time in your life, you can more easily identify your friendships for what they truly are. Today, we’re talking about real-deal gal pals, like the girlfriend who texts you “Congrats!” at good news and shows up on your doorstep with a bottle of wine and an entire pallet of tissue at bad news. In our busy lives, keeping up with one another can be complicated and, at times, burdensome, but where would we be without our girl allies? The post Elva Carri: She’s Got Your New Girl Crew appeared first on On The Dot Woman.
Catherine is here today with Aine Mulloy. Aine Mulloy has a background in the humanities and digital technologies with an MA in Literature and Publishing, and a postgraduate in Digital Marketing. She initially worked with a leading publishing company before making the move to GirlCrew as co-founder. GirlCrew is a platform for women to make new friends. Not keen on going to a concert solo? Find a friend with GirlCrew. Want to book a vacation but your friends are all coupled up? Find a group of awesome girls to travel with at GirlCrew. Whatever you can dream up, you can do with the GirlCrew. GirlCrew began one Friday night, when Elva Carri really wanted to go out dancing, but had no one to go out with. All her friends were either too busy or tired. Believing there had to be other women in the same position, she put a call out for some platonic dancing buddies on Tinder. She had no idea she would quickly garner more than 100 enthusiastic matches. She added everyone to a secret Facebook group in Dublin, where she was based, and voila GirlCrew was born. Having gained lots of new friends, and a jam-packed social calendar, Elva was going to need help. She teamed up with Aine and Pamela, where the three co-founders began growing GirlCrew groups in cities all over the world. There were a lot of late nights in the early days, but spaghetti bolognese got the trio through everything.

GirlCrew - it's a global online platform and app that helps women make new friends, wherever they are in the world. It all started when a young woman, left alone due to coupled-up friends, needed someone to go to a concert with. A short note posted online, in search of a buddy, turned into GirlCrew. It has since saved women from bad dates, helped people overcome challenges at work and even sourced witnesses for weddings. Meet its co-founders, yes co-founders, because three heads are better than one. Margaret E Ward talks to Elva Carri, Aine Mulloy and Pamela Newenham who reveal their unlikely paths to entrepreneurship, which involved making and selling draught excluders and selling raffle tickets for a box of chocolates. Listen to three inspiring women talk about taking on Mark Zuckerberg and the world, one meet-up at a time. They discuss their strategies, teamwork and making big business decisions over social media.
