Matching Humanity: Using Tech to Foster Trust and Alignment with Jennifer Hill

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we sit down with Jennifer K. Hill, the CEO and co-founder of OptiMatch. Jennifer takes us on her incredible journey from leaving high school at 16 and facing a major career setback due to a clerical error, to accidentally building and successfully exiting her first multi-million dollar staffing company. She shares the epic failure of her first venture and the lessons learned that led to the creation of her current pioneering software, OptiMatch, which uses a proprietary algorithm to foster psychological safety and alignment within teams and communities.Jennifer delves into how OptiMatch helps businesses increase retention and trust by analyzing team motivations, and how it’s used in large communities and events—like those on Richard Branson's Necker Island—to help people find their "tribe" with 87% accuracy. She also reveals her exciting future plans, including a new podcast focused on AI and consciousness, and her mission to humanize AI in a non-manipulative way. Jennifer leaves us with powerful advice for her younger self: to belong to oneself, stop people-pleasing, and fall in love with who you are.
