Canary: The Startup
I was co-founder of Canary. An app to help busy parents manage their life, calendars and schedules of all members of the family.
An AI chat bot that would plan, remind and focus everyone to make the most of their time.
We raised money, we had young children, the time wasn’t right, we returned the money. As my co-founder Lisa describes it, “a score draw”
This is when I realised, there has to be a better way of running a business and being happy in life.
