Verity Tuck
Co-founder of Goldee, the AI personal assistant for busy families. Co-founder and former COO of LVLY, Australia’s leading flower and gift delivery service.
A 12-year career in digital marketing spanning Australia to London (and back again) provided the perfect foundation for Verity’s entrepreneurial spirit to bloom. And in 2014, Verity co-founded same-day flower delivery service LVLY. With her co-founder Hannah Spilva, she grew the team from two to over 150 people across Australia, then sold and exited the business in 2021 for $35m.
Now, she’s turned her focus towards a problem close to her heart (and her home) – parental burnout. Launched in February 2023, Goldee is the AI personal assistant for busy families. It automates manual time-consuming tasks by instantly finding, summarising and scheduling family-related events across screenshots, email and WhatsApp. Importantly, Goldee gives parents back time and headspace for the people and things they love.
When she’s not working on Goldee, you’ll find Verity providing mentoring to early-stage startups, championing women in tech, or doing an early-morning-power-swim in the ocean to start the day right.
Hannah is a proven entrepreneur and brand building expert. With a background in strategy, marketing and e-commerce, she is highly creative and renowned for bringing immense energy and exceptional problem solving skills to everything she does.
In 2015 Hannah founded LVLY, a fast growth flower & gift delivery business which was ranked #8 in the 2021 AFR Fast 100 as well as being listed in Deloitte's 'Tech Fast 50' and Inside Retail's 'Australia's 20 coolest retailers'.
Hannah recently led a successful exit for LVLY resulting in the business being acquired by Limitless Technology Group. She is a passionate advocate of women in business and is dedicated to building businesses with a strong social and environmental conscience.
In her role as LVLY CEO she was recognised as as ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ by B&T Women In Media Awards 2019, ‘Telstra Business Women’s Awards’ winner 2020, ‘Founder of the Year’ by Women in Digital 2021 and ‘Melbourne Young Entrepreneur’ winner 2022.
