Mountain View, California, United States
YC20 startup focused on learning solutions for the modern worker. We collaborated with Fortune 500 teams like Doordash to create employee development programs with 5x higher engagement and completion rates entirely via SMS and WhatsApp. I spearheaded the launch of partnerships with the State of California for wildfire preparedness courses, and WHO to help journalists prevent the spread of misinformation.
We link student entrepreneurs with the skills, capital, and mentors that will launch their careers. In Spring 2018, my team saw the need for teaching and applying human centered design principles to a competitive case study, so we organized a new initiative, the 5C Sparkathon. With sponsorship from Intuit, the team brought together 130+ students across the consortium, and asked them how they would reimagine the ethical use of AI in recruitment. 25 teams pitched, and we awarded $2500 to the top 3 solutions.
