Vetted Mentors in the Greater Boston

“Former Managing Director of the LimeLife Fempire Fund with 4 years in corporate venture capital, where they built the fund, sourced deals, led diligence, and deployed $2MM into four women-owned early-stage consumer companies. Also brings nonprofit small business accelerator experience, giving them a strong operator-investor perspective on what startups need to grow.”

“Edtech product leader with experience at Harvard Business Publishing, Coursera, and Ariel Group, specializing in experiential learning products like simulations, role plays, and AI-enabled practice tools. Particularly compelling for mission-driven education roles because they pair strong platform and go-to-market execution with a clear philosophy of human-centered AI that augments teaching rather than replacing it.”

“Backend engineer/technical lead with experience building and operating real-time blockchain analytics systems at Merkle Science. Owned high-traffic Django/DRF services and Kafka streaming pipelines processing millions of events daily, with deep focus on performance (N+1 fixes, indexing, caching) and reliability (DLQs, retries, monitoring). Also led containerization and Kubernetes/GitOps-style CI/CD on Google Cloud, including a migration off Google App Engine to reduce cost and improve scalability.”

“President/founder of Kazenet, an early-stage no-code, compliance-focused recurring-revenue SaaS platform with customers and ~$200K revenue YTD, currently preparing a seed raise targeting angels/seed investors. Also mentors founders at C10 (Kendall Square venture studio), bringing hands-on experience scaling revenue, teams, and new verticals across US and international markets.”
