Ready to meet another badass female founder? Sanchali Pal, Founder and CEO of Joro, is breaking barriers, scaling her company, and saving the planet, literally. While all of us are sitting over here emitting a full shipping container of carbon everyday, Sanchali is building Joro, an app which makes it easy for regular Janes like us to do something about our emissions. Sanchali removes your cognitive load so that you can take your individual action and turn it into aggregate demand. Sanchali shares her advice on how she closed an oversubscribed $2.5M seed round led by Sequoia, how she broke into Silicon Valley as an outsider, and how a shift in her thinking led to an increase in success. Sanchali is full of deep wisdom on moving through the challenges of starting a company (and a movement!) and she drops some great fundraising advice. We love Sunchali's grit and focus on her customers and her mission, not just investors.
