#WCW Fun Female Founders!
If you’ve ever been on the money-raising grind then you KNOW that founding a company is not only hard but also takes real GRIT. This week we’re featuring three amazing female founders that have created some fascinating companies. It’s because of them that you can now 1. Do activities with your kids via video-call 2. Eat plant-based dairy and cheese without compromising the taste 3. Experience sensorial audio story-telling, on a new level.
Maxeme Tuchman is the CEO of Caribu, an interactive video-calling platform that allows grandparents and parents to do activities with children when they are not in the same location. Think Facetime but with books and games. She strongly believes in educational equity and so has participated in programs like Teach For America, Harlem Children’s Zone and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Creating Caribu just made sense. Now parent’s and children everywhere are able to connect on a deeper level through video.
