Michelle Coombs needed to scale her MSP consultancy without cloning herself, so she built Oprising, a platform helping managed service providers optimise their service delivery. In this episode, Michelle shares how she went from working on a help desk in the late 90s to building a SaaS startup while balancing client work and single parenthood, including her experience bootstrapping with a £10K grant, running 90-day accelerators for feedback, and why her advice to founders is simple: build fast, fail fast, reiterate, and most importantly, enjoy the journey.
