How to be a CEO podcast: GoHenry’s Louise Hill on young entrepreneurship

(Ki Price )

Louise Hill founded GoHenry, the debit card for kids, after one of her friend’s children accidentally bought a real truck instead of a toy one on an online store with his mum’s card.

First coming up with the fintech idea in a curry house in London, the company now has more than two million users in the UK and US, doubled its revenues during the pandemic to $42 million and recently acquired French firm Pixpay.

In this episode we talk about:

• The importance of teaching kids about money, including how to use cards

• How the cashless society is leaving children behind

• The success - and failures - of early marketing efforts

• The importance of trusted partners when trying to expand a small business

• Why GoHenry’s using different strategies to enter international markets
