Gary Stewart is the founder of FounderTribes, a startup dedicated to diversity and matching businesses or entrepreneurs with the right investors and mentors to help them lead their business in the right direction.Impact Hustlers' Maiko and Gary actually go way back with them crossing paths in Wayra, a technological innovation hub that they both worked in. Even before that, Gary took up law in Yale and shortly after school, he went to Spain for some time off post-graduation. He also shares how his first entrepreneurial stint, which was in real estate, began. He briefly was a professor at the IE Business School in Madrid and was then recruited by Wayra to be its Managing Director, and off to the UK he went.Realizing that the corporate world was not for him nor was working for someone else, he wanted to chart his own path and at the same time diversify entrepreneurship, and so he created FounderTribes. For £9.99 a month, FounderTribes provides its clients with an impressive network of mentors and coaches who will then guide their clients and their companies to becoming investor-ready, by which time they will match them with the appropriate investors based on their stage and vertical.Compared to the US where Gary could easily find investors, he noticed the stark contrast in the UK where, despite him graduating from an Ivy League university, he experienced difficulty finding investors. This, he said, was partly due to race and also due to class. Thankfully, events like Pitch@Palace helped Gary meet the right people who were willing to give him a chance.He also gives great advice for young entrepreneurs who are just starting out on their entrepreneurial journey, and in 10 years, Gary says he envisions proportional representation, that everyone gets a fair chance regardless of race, gender, class, or whatever it may be. Gary's key lessons and quotes from this episode were:“I think there's a point when you realize, "I'm more interested in that bit and solving that challenge," than on the day-to-day of, ‘Can I help corporates to figure out what's going to be their next big product?'” (10:07)“In Spain, I feel like I was more investible than I am in the UK, because in Spain, I was an American first, and I think in the UK, I'm black first, and I didn't quite realize what that meant.” (18:34)“Because when they talk about gender diversity, usually, they're only talking about white women diversity. They're not talking about black women diversity, brown women diversity.” (22:23)“If we create these economies of scale, then the price of entry is a lot more accessible for everyone, which then democratizes entrepreneurship for everyone.” (29:58)“Remember, you're not the first person to blaze a trail, and you're not going to be the last, so if you're going to get into this game as a black person or brown person, know that it's about blazing a trail that requires a certain level of a thick skin, but just get on with it.” (35:50)“All you want is equity. You don't want overrepresentation. You just want everyone to have a fair shot.” (45:40)“FounderTribes is about race. It's about gender. It's about socio-economic. It's about geography. It's about all of the "isms" that keep us locked out.” (46:12)In this episode, we also talked about:Yale, Spain, and Gary's first business venture (2:41)How Gary got into entrepreneurship (6:22)What made Gary leave Wayra to start FounderTribes (8:09)Facts and numbers on funding according to gender and race (14:06)Finding investors in Europe vs. finding investors in AmeSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/impacthustlers)
It may surprise you to hear that 2/3 of people accessing emergency relief are under extreme housing stress. In countries such as Australia, many adults are reporting that more than ½ of their disposable income goes to keep a roof over their head... leaving them little hope to save for a deposit. Plus according to Demographica, Australia is the only country in the world where 77% of the population is living in housing that is classified as severely unaffordable (defined as 6+ times your annual income). Since the financial crisis in 2008, many people in America have been forced to rent. It has been reported that 8m mortgages were foreclosed on and $7T in home equity was erased. What this means in practice is that the home ownership rate in America has not increased much at all in the 31 years since 1990. It took a very long time for the market in the US to recover from 2008 and what we are seeing now with COVID is additional pressure on home ownership as both home owners and renters were hit hard by the lockdowns/restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Bio: Daisy Ashworth started off in Local Government in the United Kingdom, specialising in Welfare and Housing law at Great Yarmouth Borough Council. She provided legal advice in benefit appeals and creating the free legal advice website 'Freegal'. For the past nine years Daisy has been committed to ending homelessness in Western Australia, working for a Not-for-Profit agency in the areas of housing, older adults, family services and mental health. In 2015, Daisy started developing the social enterprise Mortgage Mates, a revolutionary website that matches two or more users to own a home together, with the aim of increasing affordable housing in the home ownership space. Daisy has been a finalist at the Pitch @ Palace awards and participated in the SBE E3 cohort for female founders. Financial Foreplay® Highlights: It takes about 10 years on average to save up for a deposit and the average age of a first home owner is 36 years. Since 2011 there has been a 50% reduction in home ownership in the age bracket 18-29 years and a 20% reduction for people 30-39 years old 55+ women are the fastest growing demographic facing homeless right now Home ownership is so deeply ingrained as an aspirational milestone that the inability to get on the ladder is causing significant financial and mental health issues New co-ownership options can allow you to enter the property market 50-70% than if you continued to try to do it on your own 92% of renters aspire to own but 49% believe it is completely unrealistic/unachievable given the current environment and conditions Co-ownership is actually a lot less risky as both parties are much more likely to enter the arrangement with solid plans in place to deal with loss of income, shared expense, upgrades, death, estate issues, plan to exit and realize capital gains, etc. Get in touch: Email – daisy@mortgagemates.com.au Linkedin - Daisy Ashworth-Brown | LinkedIn

The Queen has reportedly scrapped plans to host a party for Prince Andrew to mark his 60th birthday in February.Instead, the monarch is said to be arranging a small family dinner for the Duke, according to the Sunday Times. His birthday is on February 19.The news comes just days after the Queen effectively sacked him from his royal duties at the behest of her eldest son in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.It has also emerged that Andrew's bungled BBC Newsnight interview was not sanctioned in advance by the Queen."The Queen did not give her approval. The fact that notion has somehow been put about has aggrieved people in the [royal] households."Andrew had a son-to-mother conversation, letting her know that he was planning to address the controversy, but without going into any details... What should have happened was the full palace process," a royal source told the Sunday Times.Meanwhile, royal author Penny Junor said to the paper: "He's absolutely finished. If Andrew is no longer representing or supporting the monarch in any capacity, or doing good charitably, what's the point of him?"The Queen is said to be "privately supportive" of her second son but also "deeply frustrated" that the scandal is overshadowing the rest of the family's work.The Queen has apparently scrapped plans to host a party for Prince Andrew to mark his 60th birthday in February following his BBC Newsnight interview.The Duke of York, widely reputed to be the favourite of her three sons, has been under scrutiny over his friendship with Epstein for several years.He is currently preparing to give up all his charity commitments in a sign that he is unlikely ever to resume royal duties.Now eighth-in-line to the throne, Andrew quit as Britain's roving trade ambassador in 2011 after being lambasted for his links to the financier following Epstein's jailing in 2008 for child sex offences.Then in 2015, one of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Giuffre, said she was forced to have sex with Andrew in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island between 1999 and 2002, when she says Epstein kept her as a "sex slave".Andrew first meets Epstein, reportedly introduced through his friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell.Earlier this week, a senior British lawyer warned that Andrew could be arrested and trapped in America if he jets across the Atlantic to speak to the FBI.US officials are examining procedures for a formal FBI interview with Andrew in Britain, and a source close to the Duke said he would be "happy to co-operate".Prince Andrew with Virginia Roberts in the now infamous photo, said to have been taken in the home of Ghislaine Maxwell.In his BBC interview, Andrew categorically denied the sex claims and gave a series of explanations as to why her account was not true.He said her account of meeting him sweating and dancing almost two decades ago at a London nightclub before having sex with him could not be true, noting that he suffered from a medical condition that stopped him perspiring.He also said that on the night he was alleged to have met her he was at home with his family after visiting a Pizza Express restaurant in the commuter town of Woking with his daughter Beatrice.The explanations provoked derision and ridicule in newspapers and social media.Prince Andrew's withdrawal from public life over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal means that all 200 of his charities will need to seek new patrons.The Queen ordered the Duke of York to step down in an attempt to contain the fall-out from his disastrous TV interview about his friendship with the paedophile billionaire.It comes as 10 of the 35 worldwide sponsors of Andrew's beloved Pitch@Palace charity pulled the plug on their support and funding.After his sacking, palace sources confirmed charities he was affiliated with would no longer receive his patronage.
Looking ahead to tonight's leaders' debate on ITV, and sadly reflecting on the end of KPMG's partnership with Pitch@Palace. Maybe Andrew should set up Pitch@Putt@Palace. Or maybe getting up at 5.45 is really starting to kick in. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
