Self-belief as a founder: Starting up when business doesn't look like you=
=F0=9F=92=AA
------------------------------------------------------------
The best piece of business advice Jance Manivasagan has ever been given is=
: to stop being scared.
Jance always had an entrepreneurial itch which needed scratching. In 2017=
=2C she took the plunge and started up her vegan and cruelty-free haircare=
brand=2C TYH London (https://www.virginstartup.org/news/self-belief-found=

hnic minority background=2C she didn=E2=80=99t feel represented in the bus=
iness world - and this affected her self-belief. It=E2=80=99s something sh=
e=E2=80=99s still working on=2C and it=E2=80=99s something she=E2=80=99s p=
assionate about voicing so other founders feel less alone.
Growing up=2C Jance=E2=80=99s parents were rightfully keen to see their ch=
ildren secure stable careers=2C as they=E2=80=99d not long emigrated to th=
e UK and wanted them to find their feet.
In our latest blog (https://www.virginstartup.org/news/self-belief-founder=

=3D1a08aae5a9&mc_eid=3D[UNIQID]) =2C Jance explains how the experiences i=
n her formative years shaped her understanding=2C and that getting a degre=
e and having a regular income was drilled into her from a young age. This=
meant she struggled with starting up and going it alone. In her words:=
=E2=80=9CIt=E2=80=99s scary enough to be a founder=2C but I think it=E2=
=80=99s even scarier when you=E2=80=99re told from a young age that if you=
don=E2=80=99t have a secure career=2C everything=E2=80=99s going to fail"=
=2E
Representation heavily impacts founders=E2=80=99 self-belief. If you don=
=E2=80=99t see people like you starting up=2C it=E2=80=99s all too easy to=
believe it=E2=80=99s not a possibility. At Virgin StartUp=2C we=E2=80=99r=
e passionate about helping everyone feel like they can start the business=
they=E2=80=99ve been dreaming of. But it doesn=E2=80=99t mean it always f=
eels that way for budding founders.
Jance=E2=80=99s advice for others that feel =E2=80=98people like them=E2=
=80=99 aren=E2=80=99t founder material?
=E2=80=9CI think you just have to be your own role model and your own comp=
etition. Being a woman from an ethnic minority=2C we=E2=80=99re really=2C=
really underrepresented in the entrepreneurial sector. So it=E2=80=99s re=
ally difficult to be able to look at someone and think=2C =E2=80=98Do you=
know what? I can do that too!=E2=80=99. But if you reframe this and see y=
ourself as your own role model and your own competition=2C it reminds you=
why you started and it keeps you going.=E2=80=9D
