How to Leap Off Of A Glass Cliff to Found, And Become An Acquired, Venture-Backed, AI-Driven, Tech Company: with Hannah Donovan

Hi Friends! Today we are speaking with Hannah Donovan, formally the CEO and co-founder of TRASH app. TRASH app is a machine learning-based video editing toolkit, where users can quickly create and edit high-quality, short-form video, and the company was just acquired by VSCO! Considering the world's biggest tech companies are currently under fire from, well, everyone, we wanted to bring onto the show our incredibly smart, innovative, and brilliant friend. Full disclosure, Trash App was acquired the week we recorded this show, so it was a really cool and fun surprise to hear about it while recording! Another reason that we were so excited to speak with Han is because of the following set of data that we keep seeing over and over again: less than 3% of all venture capital goes to female founders, and of those companies, only 26% become acquired within 10 years. Our girl Han did both in 3! Hannah is clearly a visionary and has so much grit and determination. You guys are going to love listening to her journey!
