Natalie Ferguson
She/Her
Co-Founder
Powrsuit
Nat caught the entrepreneurial bug at university, and at 19, she embarked on her first venture. Twenty years on, Nat has experienced multiple successful exits, a few painful failures, and everything in between. Before it was acquired in 2021, she grew her last startup, Hatch, into a thriving investing platform with nearly 200,000 customers. Now, she’s closing the gender leadership gap with Powrsuit, a membership network for women leaders.
