Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from people who build systems that improve everyday life. I’m especially inspired by entrepreneurs who challenge broken models and create fairer solutions for everyone involved. In building Gigi Drive, my focus is on creating a system that works for customers, supports local restaurants, and provides fair opportunities for drivers.

How do you stay motivated?

stay motivated by focusing on the bigger picture. Building something meaningful takes persistence, and I remind myself that every small step contributes to a larger goal. Whether it’s solving problems, improving a system, or helping local businesses grow, the progress itself keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded the $25K, I would use the funding to accelerate the launch and early growth of Gigi Drive. The funds would support local marketing to build awareness, onboarding more restaurants onto the platform, and improving the technology behind the app to ensure a smooth user experience. It would also help expand driver recruitment so the service can operate reliably. The goal is to establish a strong foundation in Fredericton before expanding to other cities.
