Founder at Greether-Travel and Safety app for women | 25 Hottest travel startups of 2024 | MD Girls in Tech SF | 100 Rising Latinx Founders to watch ✨ | Backed by a16z TxO
🚨 📣 🎉 I'm excited to share my transformative journey and most recent milestone completing the a16z Talent x Opportunity (TxO) Spring '24 cohort. This achievement has reinforced my belief that Greether has a vital role in making travel safer and more enriching for women and that I belong here. From pitching at #NewYorkTechWeek to learning from mentors like Tijuana Ricks, Caitlyn Possehl, Jeff Jordan and Kofi Ampadu, and having the privilege of being in sessions with Ben Horowitz, the experience has been invaluable. The program emphasized self-care, financial honesty, and a deep understanding of our customers. Meeting inspiring founders and gaining incredible insights have prepared us for bigger and better things. *Read more about our journey and the impact of TxO in my latest article!* Special shoutout to my fellow founders—Luis Caballero, transforming the world for music creators (Muse); Andrew Florial and Cameron Farzaneh, making it easier to have adventures with our friends (Outing); the incredible Samerial Johns, who is transforming how people get skills and land better job opportunities (PUG.ai); Joel Horsford BA, RT (R), founder of radEmploy, tackling a really important problem for our healthcare system; and Mical Jeanlys-White, who said "enough of this problem" and built WealthMore so all of us can access financial advisors. Your passion, commitment, and innovative approaches to tackling big problems continue to inspire me every day. Thank you to the incredible TxO team for their unwavering support and for executing this cohort so well. Your attention to detail was admirable. Ashlee Halpin,Stacia M.,Caitlin Glazebrook ,K ierston G., Traron L. Edwards Kofi and everyone else involved in making this happen. #StartupJourney #Greether #FemaleFounder #a16z #TxO #WomenEmpowerment #Travel #Innovation #Impact #StartupJourney #Greether #WomenInBusiness #a16z #TxO #Entrepreneurship #WomenEmpowerment #Travel #Innovation #Impact
