## [SkilledUp Life: How this all started](/content/background-to-skilledup-life/index.html)

The journey of SkilledUp Life started on 1st of April when a conversation between Manoj Ranaweera (me) of Techcelerate and Anthony Chisnall of Driver Net gave me an idea. I invited a number of Techcelerate Tech Founders and Partners to a virtual meeting on 2nd to discuss the concept which led to launching Furloughed Life.
