What entrepreneur hasn´t asked the question: how to grow my small business? That´s why  QuickCart Founder and CEO Monique Powell shared lessons from her entrepreneurial journey during the Tech Beach Retreat spotlight: so you can get inspired!

Long before she ran Jamaica’s answer to Uber Eats, Monique Powell—Founder and CEO of QuickCart—was a teenager dipping her toes into entrepreneurship by importing and selling computer parts. It wasn’t long before she started a web design business;  now, she’s running a successful eCommerce and logistics service.

Monique shared some of the valuable lessons she’s learned (and some things she wishes she had done differently) inside the Tech Beach Retreat spotlight: from the importance of building a strong team early on, to the necessity of taking care of yourself, to the challenges she faced in entering the eCommerce space within the realities of Caribbean infrastructure.

So, if you´re still asking yourself “how to grow my small business?”, check out how Monique overcame it all to leverage her strengths and scale her business during a pandemic on the video below.
