In 2014, I founded my own startup, Phoodieur, where we built an application that leveraged visual menus to communicate restaurant experiences. Over the 3.5 years that I worked on the startup, we took our product from concept to market, juggling a seed capital raise and managing the technical implementation along the way. I managed a 6-person team in New York, a 3-person offshore team, as well as a campus ambassador program. Throughout my time working on Phoodieur, I gained experience across all aspects of the business, from digital marketing to product management to fundraising.
