Monica Enand, founder of Zapproved
from Cause an Affect · host Ryan Buchanan
Always humble, Monica shares her passion for being engaged in the community started in high school and continues to this day with entrepreneurship + tech at her kids high school and with Techtown Diversity Pledge initiative. She got the idea to start Zapproved in 2008 when seeing this huge shift of companies needing to store their data in the cloud. The company started as a general document + message collaboration tool and quickly found its niche in legal e-discovery software. Monica has had to work through the narrative in her head that she learned in society and in her family that girls can’t do everything boys can do. She is proving that women are more than capable to run amazingly successful companies and be truly comfortable in their own skin — that’s what she values most in people and herself.
What this episode covers
Monica Enand is founder + CEO of a tech company called Zapproved. She grew up in a loving Indian-American family in Charlotte, NC where success for her and her siblings was one of two options — to be a doctor or an engineer. She chose the engineer path because she was good at math and science and learned to love being an engineer once she gained a mastery of it. What she really wanted to be when she grew up was President of the United States (I’d vote for her)! Her response: “we’ve gotten that desperate, I know.”
