Peaks and Valleys: Navigating growth
by Rizwana Akmal Khan and Daryl Cecile
Talk video
Description
Founding a small start-up unexpectedly, was the start of our journey of navigating growth. As first-time founders, we found ourselves needing to balance improvisation and long-term strategy whilst also wearing a multitude of hats, jumping over financial hurdles, and keeping our momentum.
By the end of this coming-of-age talk, we hope to share our experiences of creating a community-backed project—especially for those who find themselves in similar, unexpected spots—as well as our hopes for the future of the tech industry in Nottingham and beyond.
About Riz and Daryl
Rizwana Khan
Rizwana Akmal Khan and Daryl Cecile are co-founders of ProjectFunction, a start-up set up in 2018, which aims to educate and encourage under-represented and marginalised people to get involved in the tech industry.
Rizwana is a designer-developer, poet, podcaster, and occasional-speaker. As a third-culture adult, she has grown up valuing diverse work environments and will always stand in support of spaces where people who may be seen as outsiders are given centre stage.
Daryl Cecile
Daryl is a developer and educator, committed to opening up the tech industry to a more diverse group of people; instilling a philosophy of discovery and collaboration into those taking their first steps into the industry, especially providing support to those who are marginalised and overlooked.
