When I started at William & Mary in 2020, I never imagined myself becoming an entrepreneur. Now, four years later, I'm ecstatic to announce that Aaraj and I have been selected for Batch 17 of Lighthouse Labs RVA's startup accelerator program.
What began as an idea between two friends at the first floor tables of Swem Library, VerbaAI LLC has blossomed into collaborations with multiple state leagues of the League of Women Voters, and a strong working relationship with Microsoft's Democracy Forward team. At VerbaAI LLC, we are dedicated to building software that fortifies the information environment. From tracking emerging narratives to detecting cutting-edge deepfake videos with Forentify, we are committed to making sure that accurate, trustworthy information prevails in an ever-evolving digital landscape. The past year and a half has been a thoroughly rewarding experience, and I’m excited to continue to take this venture, as Mike Tierney would say, “beyond the ivory tower.”
My time at W&M was an instrumental part of my entrepreneurial journey. I wouldn’t be here without the immense help of the William & Mary Global Research Institute and the W&M Entrepreneurship Hub and the opportunities they gave me to present my work. My intellectual curiosity was fostered at DisinfoLab W&M, a truly unique organization at the college. Leading the lab for the past 3 years, as well as co-founding the lab’s software incubator was without a doubt the most impactful experience I had as a student. I’ll never forget the countless hours spent poring over research reports and debugging MVPs with students who shared this same entrepreneurial vision. And of course, I wouldn’t be here without the dedication of my fellow Tribe alum and co-founder Aaraj, the hardest working person I know, who has been on this journey with me every step of the way.
There are so many people who have helped get me where I am today, but in particular, I would like to thank Mike Tierney, Ryan A. Musto, Ph.D., Dennis Smith, Amy Oakes, Ana Carcani Rold, Shane Szarkowski, PhD, Tim Ryan, Graham Henshaw, Tracy Gronewold, Tom Plant, Megan Hogan, Dave Leichtman, Ethan Chumley, Matthew Masterson, Tim Carroll, Dhruv Gupta, Chris Hoyle, Jasmin Alsaied, Roger Yee, Barbara A. Buchanan, Navneet V., Ellen McCarthy, and Doowan Lee for their unwavering support through this journey.
Here’s to the future of VerbaAI!
All 102 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) together have an endowment of USD 4 b. Harvard's endowment alone is USD 50 b. So, this USD 100 m donation will be put together in a pooled endowment for HCBU's. This will become part of a USD 370 m pooled endowment. Pooled investments allow for better investments and grow more quickly. HCBU's will only be able to take a small percentage out every year so that the endowment can keep growing. HBCU's have been increasingly important as affirmative action gets struck down and the backlash against EDI.

Dr. Ruth Gottesman, the 93-year-old widow of a Wall Street financier, has donated $1 billion to Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with instructions that the donation will be used to cover tuition for all students going forward. Dr. Gottesman is a former professor at the school.
The donation is not only the largest one ever given to the school, but also important because it is going to a medical school in the Bronx, NYC’s poorest borough.
The moment the students realize their tuition is paid for is everything 🥺
