  Today, we welcome back Betsy Hauser Idilbi, Co-Founder of Tech Talent South to the show.  Last week, Betsy spoke about Tech Talent South and how it got off the ground on so many different levels. This week we wanted to change the direction of the conversation and talk about the future for Tech Talent South, Charlotte and Betsy.  It's even better than Part I and I hope you enjoy it as we discuss the following: The placement rates of coding schools - how they are 'ranked' - and Tech Talent South's recent step into training employees at corporations. How Tech Talent South plans on using Charlotte as a training ground for other cities moving forward. Their recent decision to raise capital from Cramer Mountain Growth Partners - a new VC fund in the Charlotte area. How has Tech Talent South not only survived but thrived while some in the coding world have gone under recently? Would Betsy have a Co-Founder if she starts another business in the future? What would Betsy like to see in Charlotte in the future that doesn't exist today or when Tech Talent South was getting off the ground. And much, much more. It's a great podcast and hope you enjoy the episode.  Please check in next week as we interview Yamile Nesrala who is the Director of Miami and Charlotte for Venture For America.

Today, we welcome Betsy Hauser Idilbi, Co-Founder of Tech Talent South to the show. Betsy is rare success in the startup world. She's a female founder, successful raised money for her startup, and lives in Charlotte. Listening to the podcast you quickly pick up on why.  She's smart, energetic, quick on her feet, and persistent. She's grown Tech Talent South from 1 city to 11 and recruited some excellent talent to her team.  She's kept Tech Talent South in growth mode as industry competitors have shut down and stands poised to grow the company for years into the future. Betsy graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in journalism but knew from an early time she wanted to start something.  Her time at Little Idea - which merged with Louis Foreman's Enventys - was instrumental as she learned not many people had the technical school of coding.  This lead her off on an adventure that would see her launch Tech Talent South and grow it into the success it is today and will become in the future. Listen in to today's podcast to learn more about Besty and her journey including: How did she find a network of mentors and how important was it for her to have found a female mentor as well (Tana Green of Blue Bloodhound has been a huge help to Betsy)? Why was Atlanta their first location and why was Asheville their second city? The reason they expanded to 4 cities in 8 months? The role hiring the right people has played and how Betsy has tackled hiring so far, including Suzanne Speece and Darryl Jones. How does Betsy view equity as compensation for startups? What lessons has Betsy learned that she wishes she could go back and tell her ‘early founder self’? What was their strategy early on as she watched her competitors develop? Next week we dive further into our interview with Betsy and explore why now was the right time for her to raise money and more about the success that is Tech Talent South.

I can’t believe it’s been two years since I took the leap to share my voice with the world in a big and scary way. I had no expectations for how far this road would take me which is why I feel so blessed that I have the opportunity to celebrate TWO YEARS of giving Atlanta entrepreneurs a platform to tell their story in a unique and authentic way. On this very special episode, we are going to shake things up… Turning the tables is my good friend and fellow lady boss, Becky Berry, who will interview yours truly. Yes, it’s time for me to tell my story in a way that I never have before. Listen as we pop the champagne and talk about the high and woes of#startuplife. And make sure you stick around because Michael Cowherd, Founder of On The Way!, and co-organizer of W.O.E. (Women Only Entrepreneurs) woeatl.eventbrite.com will also be joining me in studio to talk about an incredible upcoming event for Atlanta’s trailblazing women. Becky Berry/Becky Berry Career Coaching Infinite possibilities exist at the intersection of women, technology, and education. My belief in those infinite possibilities and my experience in varied careers, including technology, enable me to help clients gain new, unimagined perspectives on their careers. How? By helping clients rediscover, reclaim, and re-imagine their talents, skills, strengths, work experience, and life experience so they can identify their ideal careers and go after them! I know how to help women bridge the gap between their perceptions of what tech work is and the reality of the broad range of career opportunities in technology. Here’s the thing. I’ve had several careers including magazine publisher, software entrepreneur, stay-at-home mom, and social entrepreneur. Now, as a Certified Professional Career Coach, I use my extensive and varied work experience to help women take action to embrace change with excitement to reach their dreams. Clients learn how to dig down and unearth their hidden talents. They also learn how to talk about their talents and skills as we create strategies that will lead to the success they have been looking for. We re-imagine their current careers or imagine and explore better ones. Along the way, we develop a picture or their lives that they could never have dreamed of. We take all of the work we do together and create a personalized, achievable career path.
