We originally met in San Francisco, doing our Master's of Social Entrepreneurship together and have grown into not only dear friends but we've created a really special "girls huddle" to support each other in our entrepreneurship journey. I know you will love to hear their stories of how they made the jump! Viya is a UX & Product Strategist, currently helping small teams on finding market fit for their product & services. She’s also an aspiring entrepreneur aiming to bring more freedom of movement in skirts.   Manon is a French chef, “autodidact”and owner of Monalilianna private chef business, based out of Austin, Texas.
