Zoë Chapman: From my 1-bed council flat to the Dragon’s Den

Solo-founder of Kiddiwhizz, Zoë Chapman, shares how risking it all for her invention led to double investment on Dragon’s Den. After noticing a vast gap in the market during the pandemic, the 39-year-old mum of one rolled her sleeves up to fill it. Her genius idea: A portable kids’ toilet—aptly called the Whizzer. Taking a huge financial risk from her 1-bed council flat, she turned a need into a solution, in part thanks to her neurodivergent brain. And now, she has singlehandedly turned her idea into an award-winning, eco-friendly solution that parents simply can’t leave the house without. Struggling against traditional expectations, Zoë offers a unique perspective on overcoming obstacles, harnessing creativity, and challenging conventional norms to achieve success. With authenticity and resilience, she demonstrates how neurodivergence can provide a fresh lens for innovation and inspire others to embrace their own individual capabilities.
