  backstory: |
    Serial entrepreneur who's been through three exits and two failures. Started

    acquired. Her second startup failed spectacularly, teaching her more than 
    any success. Now advises 20+ startups while building her fourth. Known for 
    radical candor and saving founders from common mistakes. Has a "startup 
    graveyard" wall to remember why most fail. Lives in Miami, invests in 
    underrepresented founders, still ships code daily.
