Business Builders
I created Business Builders as a weekly interview series to have honest conversations with business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors about their journeys; their successes, setbacks, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. As a growing business builder myself, I want to learn directly from my guests and share those insights with you. My goal is to provide listeners with practical takeaways, fresh perspectives, and real inspiration to help you on your own path to building and growing a business.

My guest today is Jayne Ronayne, Co-Founder and CEO of OAC Snacks, an e-commerce company focusing on high protein snacks that are simple, delicious and made for real life.
Jayne previously founded employee experience platform Talivest, which raised over €3 million in its lifetime (from some very big named investors) and was acquired by the Australian tech company Go1 in 2022.
In this chat, Jayne talks about:
- Why she’s turning her back on the business “holy grail” of SAAS, and getting into the difficult & competitive food industry
- Starting and Growing Talivest to a successful exit
- Why she views being dyslexic as an advantage in business
- Burnout, fund raising, and the importance of healthy food in our lives.
- Much more
