Hear how Rebecca De Beukelaer built Unisalad & how she successfully pivoted after COVID-19 forced students back home and her app usage all but disappeared.
In a moment, you’ll meet Rebecca De Beukelaer — Founder and CEO of Unisalad, a community and marketplace app for university students.
Growing up, Rebecca thought she’d be a housewife, have a lot of kids, and perhaps a couple of dogs and horses as well. Entrepreneurship was all but a foreign word to her.
Rebecca’s parents encouraged her and her siblings to pursue career paths that made them happy. There was no one definition of what "success" looked like within the context of a profession, but rather an expectation to do good work and lean into the opportunities that life presented.
So when a Facebook group that she had started for students to buy, sell, and exchange concert tickets at her university in Nottingham grew to over 36,000 members, Rebecca knew she had to capitalize on this audience.
Tune in to hear the story of how Rebecca built Unisalad and how she successfully pivoted after COVID-19 forced students across the UK back home and her app usage all but disappeared.
