S2: EP32: How To Build Your Own Startup

Today, I have the pleasure to speak to Hugo Pickleford-Wardle,
co-founder of Startup Sherpas.  A collective of amazing
people striving to help teens bring their ideas to life. Teaching
them to do product and innovation properly.


If anyone has the right credentials to teach children how to
build a start-up, Hugo is the man.


He started his first business at 6 years old, selling Pot Pourri
to golfers in Worcester!  Since then he has done lots of
Startups.  He created Mr Truffles, selling fresh truffles to
Domestic and Michelin Star chefs.   He created an
airline for skiers and has worked with some of the world’s
biggest companies like Times and Vogue.  He had his own
innovation consultancy which had a couple of million-pound
revenue.


Sounds like a success story?  Hugo has also had his equal
share of failure along the way.


They were working with adult career changers and realised that
they were reaching people too late.  Teaching them
entrepreneurial skills which they should have learned at school.


That’s when Start up Sherpa was born.  They also help young
people achieve a basic income so they can focus on what they
really care about, and to help rapid change and growth in a
sustainable way both for the students and for the world.
