OTS 226: Impact Conversations - Cynthia Del'Aria

Today’s guest helps business owners and stakeholders make wise decisions. As a savvy entrepreneur, she started her first company at the young age of 15 and sold it to a major competitor just four years later. She started her programming journey very early and quickly discovered her love for tech and a knack for building tech businesses. Her passion extends to changing the conversation in the tech world for women and gender minorities by helping more people get into and stay in tech. The more gender minorities are represented in tech over a longer period of time, the more the conversation will shift for future generations. She developed the curriculum for the Raika Technologies and GotAnAppIdea.com Startup Program to help new app and tech entrepreneurs spend as little time and money as possible evaluating their idea, helping them get to a go-no-go decision quickly and efficiently. Please join me in welcoming Cynthia Del'Aria.
