In the latest Platform Podcast episode, Elle Tucker talks to Stephen Champion, Co-Founder and CEO of YuTU, an early stage social networking platform that encourages users to build communities offline too. Stephen shares his experiences of the recent Sharing Economy Global Summit, then goes on to tell his fascinating founder story, set against the background of the lockdowns – and talks about what inspired him to start a project so far removed from his previous career in the world of veterinary science. Then – plot twist – a pivot: Stephen explains what his new ‘social marketplace’ consists of, and the risks that will be involved as he scales.
