They're a social enterprise Fintech linking deep financial smarts with Trenna's heart-fuelled mission to empower women to control their financial future.
Building a business to solve a problem is Startup 101. But solving a problem you genuinely care about is rocket fuel for a conscience-led entrepreneur.
With close to half a century on the planet, Trenna understands why finance matters and how to harness its power for good. She’s held many roles in the corporate world across strategy, sales and investments - but being an entrepreneur - and founding three highly successful businesses – is the most rewarding.
She has made it her mission to create a fearless, financial future for women by funding social impact initiatives which help marginalised women in Australia. From this Fierce Impact was born, a not-for-profit pledging to tackle the problems faced by 1 in 4 older Australians who live in poverty, with women being increasingly at risk.

This week Adam Grocke Founder and CEO of Sherlok joins Dexter Cousins to chat about his transformation from mortgage broker to fintech entrepreneur and how he is helping brokers be the hero.
More About Sherlok
After 12 years as a mortgage broker (and winner of awards like Broker of the Year and Top 30 Brokers Under 30 in Australia), he was sick and tired of banks offering better interest rates to new mortgage customers while existing customers were being charged a ‘loyalty tax’ (a higher interest rate the longer they’re with the bank). So he came up with a solution: Sherlok, an AI engine that helps mortgage brokers keep their clients for longer, protect their trail book income, and generate valuable refinancing leads.
Sherlok is Australia’s first automated repricing and refinancing tool that
1. Predicts when a client is likely to leave a broker 2. Lowers their home loan interest rate to keep them 3. Runs instant refi comparisons to entice refinancing All branded as the broker so they are the hero.
Sherlok's next phase is single click refinancing which will reshape the finance industry forever.
