Tech is reshaping how we learn and come together. But, now more than ever, we see how the world isn’t equitable to certain groups — like new immigrants with financial and language barriers, students that don’t go to desirable schools, freshman founders — leaving an uphill climb between the impact they’re capable of, and what society expects from them. I want to do my part in levelling the playing field.
I currently am working to solve this problem:
-
🚧 By working on a startup that provides liquidity to social tokens which allows powers the next wave of social tokens
-
💸 Through investing at a student-run seed-stage venture fund and giving opportunities to founders who many overlook for being “too young”
Previously:
-
🛍️ Empowering small businesses so that they are able to deal with the unpredictable nature of eCommerce
-
🎒By working at a startup that builds a unique income share agreement to fund immigrants looking for higher education, without having to bear the financial burden.
-
🏗️ By building a startup that conducted blind technical assessments for data science recruitment which brought all applicants to an equal footing by removing the barriers of going to a non-target school or not having proper credentials
