Sarah-Marie fell in love with entrepreneurship and when she decided to follow this path decided to pursue Entrepreneurship studies where she found her partner and together they decided to solve the EV scarcity challenge.
They realized that the majority of the time privately owned EV chargers are unused the majority of the time as people charge their cars overnight so the natural thing was to connect EV charger owners with EV owners that needed to charge their vehicles.
This brilliant approach to solve the challenge, attracted investors, backers, partners, and even first users to the platform, to what it seemed as a high potential startup.
Their business model depended on people traveling from different places and needing to charge their vehicles so when the first lockdown was lifted they were optimistic to say the travel would come back to normal.
As we now know this is not what happened and when the second lockdown and travel restrictions came into place in most of Europe, they had to make a forced pivot towards a new business model, even with everything going according to plan.

What she shared:

- The challenges she faced while pivoting
- How she managed to overcome the emotional hardships
