Meet Naré Vardanyan, founder & CEO of Ntropy. Originally from Armenia, Naré turned to entrepreneurship after college as her path to stay in the US- and she got hooked. Now on her second startup, she decided to tackle the challenge of deciphering financial data - especially across borders – and set about to fix it.

In this episode we dive into:

• Nare's excitement about AI and the advancements she’s seen since starting Ntropy
• How to build momentum in a fundraise
• Gaining confidence as a leader- particularly around managing people and saying “no”
• Her story around building traction in the company- and how close they came to stopping

And much more!
