On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with founder of iDAL, a professional booking platform and community for models providing an alternative to traditional agencies by streamlining bookings. Her earliest ambitions to be a journalist, took this young entrepreneur from Kazakstan to London where she would meet the model behind her idea. Chatting to her friend about the struggles within the industry, they stumbled upon a solution to making things more flexible for young girls wanting to model and study at the same time. What began as a fun part time project, slowly transformed into a platform with the potential to change the way model booking operated forever. Talking me through the journey from accidentally meeting an angel investor to finding her perfect co-founder in lockdown, here’s what it’s like to be Mariya Grinina.
