After Google, I spent six years at start-ups and doing consulting for start-ups and venture capitalists. I was making a lot of introductions at that time. There was one week I had multiple people come up to me and say something to the effect of, “Hey Falon, a couple years ago, you introduced me to this person who is now my co-founder. We just raised $20 million. Thank you for helping us connect.” That was the aha moment.
Longer term, we believe that everyone should have their own intelligent artificial agent whose job is to understand what you care about, understand what's going on in the world, and surface opportunities to you before you even know to ask. If my name was Jack instead of Falon, I would have raised double the amount of money and probably have double the valuation.I think the biggest challenge, being a female founder of a deep tech company—which is making fundamental breakthroughs in science and technology—is that I don't look the part. And that comes with a level of sexism when you meet with predominantly male investors to evaluate investing in your company.
