How this software entrepreneur found opportunities with Grow London Local

As the founder of two successful businesses, Huimin Tao knows the challenges that most SMEs face: juggling multiple priorities (often with little to no resource) and too much admin wasting away your time as a founder.

With this in mind, she created Glanect – a company focused on providing AI solutions to help businesses work to their best – and Tasklane, software that supports property management companies with becoming more efficient, and saving time and money in the process.

As both her businesses grow, Huimin Tao has found the support from Grow London Local useful to her journey. Watch the video to learn more.
