As a young female in her mid-20s, Catherine Tabor found it nearly impossible to secure VC funding for her promising business selling promotional platforms to enterprises. Nicknamed “The Judge” by her family for her determination and decisiveness, Catherine didn’t let these “nos” deter her; she took a step back, realized she needed to find another way to get capital, and decided to bootstrap her business.
That
decision paid off and paved the way for Catherine’s successful
entrepreneurial career, with Catherine currently serving as the
Founder and CEO of Sparkfly, a retail technology company that
partners with restaurant leaders like Denny’s, Bojangles, Chipotle,
and more. In this episode of The Cred Podcast, host Mack McKelvey
sits down with Catherine who shares early career lessons that
helped shape her leadership style and how she runs her
business.
