What does it take to build one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups in a legacy industry? Find out from today’s 40 Minute Mentor, Murvah Iqbal , Co-Founder and CEO of Hived , the UK’s first customer-centric, all-electric, tech-enabled parcel delivery company designed for modern e-commerce. Long before raising a $42 million Series B and rolling out an 100% electric fleet across eight UK cities, Murvah was captaining Manchester City’s women’s youth team, running marketing for her family’s fast-food chain, and hustling entrepreneurial ideas. Today, she leads a team transforming parcel delivery through world-class technology, operational excellence and a relentless belief that there had to be a better way. This episode is a masterclass in leadership grit, co-founder dynamics, building high-performing teams, and scaling a moonshot idea from two founders on bikes to millions of parcels delivered for some of the UK’s biggest brands.
