January 10, 2023 – Serverless Cloud Shruthi Rao and Scrubs Direct Alicia Tulsee

Shruthi Rao - Co-founder of Vendia 

I would recommend every single woman and every single person
of color to take a step back. We stand in our own way sometimes.
I acknowledge that there are lots of barriers out there, but we can
get out of our own way.

Alicia Tulsee - Founder & CEO of Moxie Scrubs

Prior to our entry, 80% of the market was purchased through
brick-and-mortar retail channels. A nurse on her day off had to
go to a uniform store to find her size and style. And then had to
go back to work and work these crazy hours!
