144 Startup School for Seniors, with Suzanne Noble

Suzanne is a serial entrepreneur who has had a diverse career which included PR for big entertainment brands, founding a TV company, creating a baby sling company and launching money saving app Frugl.

I interviewed Suzanne for the podcast back in 2019 to talk about Advantages of Age, the social enterprise she founded after attempting to join the London technology start up industry and realising she was the oldest person in the room.

Suzanne is back to talk about one of her latest ventures; co-founding ‘Startup School for Seniors’. The aim of her latest not-for-profit is to help the over 50s turn their business ideas into reality in just 8 weeks.

In our conversation, Suzanne shares the story behind this idea, how Startup School for Seniors works and real life examples of people who have got their business ideas off the ground as a result.
