A Desire in Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Business

Through studying business and computer science, I hope to make the world around us a better place with technology. I believe that better technology and more automation will always improve our lives, and will sen/e as “the great equalizer” for all marginalized people. My interest is bridging the gap between technology and business — particularly in venture capital and investment strategies. Women are often discriminated against when seeking venture capital for their business or idea, and I believe this is a huge opportunity for value creation — both for investors and for the world.

My long-term goal is to develop an application that uses Al to guide venture decisions, allowing for startups to be judged on merit and destroying the glass ceiling for female and minority entrepreneurs. Although I’m not a particularly math»oriented person, I have had a passion for computer engineering and have since a very young age.

Attending entrepreneurship conferences and trade shows as well as going to an engineering program in high school has shown me how male-dominated the field can be, and despite being a man myself, I see the losses we take.

I’ve seen this very personally: throughout middle school, I was involved with my mom’s startup company, helping where I could and even pitching to potential investors and customers. However, as a barely 5’3″ woman. she had a very hard time being taken seriously despite the momentum she was gaining, and she could no longer afford to run it. This got to me, but I couldn’t place why until I started my own last year: even as a student, I was taken seriously and talked to as an equal by nearly everyone, even local businesspeople.
