A View From the Top with Resi home-improvement site co-founder Alex Depledge

The entrepreneur tells Zlata Rodionova how her burnout prompted her to launch two successful startups and what worries her about Brexit

‘Now we are in a position where we can turn around and pull the next girl up,’ says entrepreneur Alex Depledge (BuildPath)

Alex Depledge knows a thing or two about start-ups and what it takes to make them a success.

The Bradford-born serial entrepreneur first made a name for herself with home-cleaner booking website Hassle that she co-founded with her former colleague Jules Coleman.

Their business idea was born in 2011, after a phone conversation in which Coleman complained about the difficulty of finding a good piano teacher online. The two had long been thinking about leaving their jobs to launch a business of their own and suddenly the opportunity was there.
