Founder‘s Associate (Product & CEO)
2021 - 2021
#1 Product Intern. I supported sento.io to get a clear idea of what the product-market fit looks like, how to execute it by making decisions more data-driven and by understanding unmet market needs. My mission was to sharpen our value as well as our viability.
Co-Founder
2021 - 2021
My co-founder and I worked on a problem in society (ambitious students from low-socio economic background, with migration background, and/or non-academic background, like ourselves) and conducted user research with a landing page and countless interviews with a Figma prototype of our software. We were part of a program of WEF Global Shapers. We stopped because the cycles for the use case were too long, and we decided to pursue the idea at another point in life because the problem still exists and people with grit deserve better. They need role models and people they can look up to and understand that everyone can reach everything regardless where they are from.
