A Conversation with Solvej Biddle, CEO of Inspirational Solutions and Mentor, Advisor & Panellist of Tech Nordic Advocates

The Tech Space

In episode four of the ‘Women In Tech’ series, Kira Owen is joined by Solvej Biddle. Solvej is a lawyer, entrepreneur, Dragon’s Den alumni, female business multi-award winner, board-member, speaker and author of leadership programmes.

Kira and Solvej discuss Solvej’s entrepreneurial journey, starting with her experience on Dragon’s Den, moving on to her role as a mentor for Tech Nordic Advocates where she is mentoring early-stage female founders in the technology space. They discuss why, despite Scandinavia’s reputation as a global leader when it comes to gender equality, investment in female-led businesses in Scandinavia is still woefully low; Imposter Syndrome; the importance of self-confidence and having the courage to ask for help.
