What advice does Laura have for NYU female founders?
Laura advises to “go out and always talk to your customers and try to prove that there is a market for your idea before developing a solution to what the perceived problem is.” During the Female Founders Lunch, Laura also spoke on following her company’s pillar of social responsibility in regards to privacy. While building her product she was very aware of issues concerning transparency of data, and worked to create ethical data. Laura intends to continue expanding her service to Identify the best place to sell products and reach the best audience.
