Now living in Munich, Germany, Ms Hart last month received more recognition for her start-up business and career in the prestigious magazine The Hundert based in Berlin.
She explained The Hundert chose 100 successful female business founders in Europe and she made the list. “I'm the only Aussie featured – nice that one Aussie made the list,” she said.
Her accomplishments and company 7write coincidentally were also recently listed in Forbes Magazine’s list of top 100 female start-up founders.
In The Hundert article she was asked: “What motivates you?”. Her answer: “Fearless creativity and innovation that’s aimed to benefit others to solve a real human need.”
She told The Hundert she thought she had always been an entrepreneur, inspired by her hard-working parents.
“My father is a brilliant innovator and my mother a focused steam train – a killer combination,” she said.
“Their accomplishments got me creating from the age of 13. I sung, taught dance and fitness and was a part-time moviemaker. I used my mini jobs to fund my university education and a round-the-world trip at age 18.
“I became one of the Women and Leadership Australia graduates in 2012, and from this time on, I became hungry to really create something big and meaningful. I believe an idea or business should come from a real customer need in combination with the personal ability to find a solution.”
Ms Hart’s venture, 7write, was accepted into Startup Bootcamp Amsterdam in 2013 and raised €250,000 from investors (about $380,000 at current exchange rates).
“I recommend trusting your intuition, learning from others and never doubting yourself. You can do anything with the right intentions!”
Ms Hart said she was really pleased with the write-up in the magazine, which looked great and had “some incredible women featured inside”.
