🌟 Meet April Hicke – co-founder of Toast, innovator, and advocate for inclusive entrepreneurship.

In our latest VSW Monthly Feature, April shares how she embraced the entrepreneurial leap, the importance of surrounding yourself with a "hype squad," and why self-care is crucial when balancing startup life and motherhood. 👉 Her key advice for aspiring women entrepreneurs? "Start before you feel ready, build before you have permission, and lean into your lived experience." Catch April back at Vancouver Startup Week on May 23rd for Men in Tech 2.0.
