It could be the biggest shake-up of corporate taxation in history. But can President Biden's push for a minimum global rate succeed? He wants multinational companies to pay a rate of at least 21%. The proposal is likely to face opposition from smaller economies. Tech consultant Pamela Newenham explains how Ireland's low tax regime has helped to transform the country's capital. Others say the proposal doesn't go far enough. We hear why from Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz. We also hear from the man leading the charge for reform at the OECD, Pascal Saint-Amans, and Danny McCoy, head of Ireland's biggest business group.

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.
Pamela Newenham, one of the three founders of GirlCrew, tells us how a secret Facebook group for women to make friends has turned into a platform with over 100,000 members across the world. We discuss the power of networking, meeting Mark Zuckerberg and their move to Silicon Valley. The GirlCrew App Hootenanny is happening from the 17th - 20th August, with 19 events over 4 days, including tech talks, brunch, parties and speakers including Microsoft's MD Cathriona Hallahan and much more! Find out more by clicking here Key takeaways [1:56] How not being able to find people to go on a girls night out dancing resulted in hacking Tinder and forming a secret Facebook group. How founders Elva Carri, Aine Mulloy and Pamela Newenham came together. [4:34] Pamela's journey from being a journalist interviewing entrepreneurs to becoming one. [7:05] How having defined roles means they work well together as a team. They have specific areas they specialise in and there is no overlap which helps to keep things harmonious. [9:40] The challenges they came across including having no experience in tech or coding and wanted to bring out an app. Having no experience hiring was also challenging, it was harder than they thought to hire developer. [12:25] High points have included being selected, from 220 entrants, to represent Europe at the SXSW festival in Texas. GirlCrew was filmed by Facebook as one of their success stories. They met Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Yes, he was wearing a grey t-shirt! [17:30] Pamela's advice around growing and scaling a company would be to talk to people who have already done it. Trust your own gut instinct when you get conflicting advice. If you’re a tech startup, go to Silicon Valley [19:04] What helps make Silicon Valley a great place to do business and grow is that everyone is keen to help, to put you in touch with people and introduce you. Although soon moving there, GirlCrew will always keep a development team in Ireland. [22:40] Everything is about networking and talking to people. Real connections are made offline whether friendships or professional networks. Girlcrew are all about meeting people offline and making real friendships.
