Amy Ouzoonian, MoodConnect
Amy created a space for people to process emotions and experience a sense of community. “People often respond with ‘I’m fine’ when that’s really not the case. I want to make mental health less taboo and help others communicate.” MoodConnect is an app that connects how you’re feeling to resources and others who are feeling the same.
Angie Madara, Growd
Angie created a system that designs and matches children to co-curricular activities in sports, music, and arts. “Hearing the results the parents see is the best part. We work with more than 30,000 children, connecting them to resources and activities we provide.”
Bee Law, Quirktastic
Bee always loved anime and gaming. “I realized it was difficult joining the anime or gaming communities available, especially as women or people of color.” Quirktastic is a social networking app for hobbyists and lovers of all things fandom.
Carlita Kelly, Vive Guide App
Carlita saw a common trend when traveling. Finding local activities wasn’t found in just one place. “Vive Guide App wants to cultivate a community in our platform. Ignite wanderlust in people so when cities are ready to open, the hospitality industry will be revitalized.”
Chekesha Van Putten, Castango
Castango embraces the changes in how people complete transactions and hire remote talent. “To choose to be an actress or a model takes a lot of courage. People see it as glamorous, but any person that pursues this career has to face a lot of challenges.” Chekesha created a place where vetted talent can meet those who need their services, even virtual ones!
Jessica Toh, Huckleberry Labs
Huckleberry is an app that utilizes technology and sleep experts to improve children’s sleep. “It is so rewarding to hear people say we saved their sanity, or saved their marriage, or that they are thankful we exist in the parenting space.”

They offer unparalleled choices for the modern bride, ethically made in New York within 12 weeks.
Mercedes Molloy, Safe Squad Mobile App
As a survivor of assault, Mercedes developed a solution that could empower others. “By creating a mobile application that provides user safety and peace of mind for their loved ones, the next girl out there does not have to say ‘me too.’ Because frankly, it’s a club that no one should be a part of.”
Nicole Hartwig, Capri for Girls
Nicole created Capri, a personal finance app for girls as a way to pay it forward. “Most teens don’t get a financial education at all. Every young woman deserves to have the practical financial knowledge she’ll need to succeed for the rest of her life. That’s what Capri is about.”
