Write, Rise Up, LLC

Write, Rise Up offered diversity workshops in the Bay Area and online. Our mission was to develop people's toolboxes for communicating, working, and thriving in this fraught political era - both in person and online. Our courses helped to channel people's strong emotions into positive action plans for themselves and their businesses. We also built community among social equality advocates, in the Bay Area and around the world.

Founder & CEO

Cambridge Proofreading LLC

I gave practical academic advice to young scholars based on their completed research and current career goals. As part of this advisory role, I completed substantive editing work and proofreading on a variety of document types, from academic journal manuscripts to job query letters. Many of my clients were English as a Second Language (ESL) speakers, so the job also drew on my expertise as a trained linguist; I was able to quickly identify and correct common errors in cross-cultural communication, while also providing in-depth disciplinary feedback and tips for producing clearer, cleaner, more professional-sounding writing.

Academic Advisor

Shmoop

I grew the product function at Shmoop from a 'one woman band' (myself) to 4 additional PMs and 2 UI/UX designers, while organising the efforts of 14 engineers in-house and dozens of content developers to launch 100s of K–12 products. I was instrumental in determining the financial strategies and product direction for the company, along with the CEO, CTO, and CCO. One of the biggest changes I implemented during my tenure was to convert the company’s direct sales model for student-facing products from a single-purchase model to a subscriptions model. (Everyone wants to be Netflix.) At the same time, I helped to switch our back-end payment system from Paypal to Stripe. Profits doubled YoY for this revenue stream.

I organized and prioritized all of Shmoop’s engineering and product tasks/bugs via agile, two-week sprints in Jira. I also owned products end-to-end, chatted with teachers and students using our products on-site, managed design and user testing, and managed product QA up to release and the engineering teams during release. I always aimed to work at the intersection of large-scale data analysis and human, creative design to build products that grew the business. And it was all for a good cause. Unlike private college tutors, our SAT Test Prep was low-cost enough to be purchased by almost anyone with an internet connection. We helped under-served schools give top-quality education to their students.

V.P. of Product Management

I designed, specified the UIX for, and wrote and edited the copy for thousands of unique URLs within Shmoop's English language and literature sections, college and careers sections, and premium test prep products. For example, I wrote this “dating profile” for Stanford University http://www.shmoop.com/stanford-university. All of this content is designed to be SEO-savvy and click-bait-worthy. As my responsibilities at Shmoop grew, I came to manage 50+ at-large writers, editors, and translators of Shmoop's free and premium content to meet tight product deadlines while maintaining high quality. Quality is a must for Shmoop, as the company contracts with individual schools and districts across the U.S.

Stanford University

As a researcher in sociophonetics, I analyzed how the way you talk represents who you are, where you've been, and where you're going. I like this field particularly because it uses quantitative data analysis to further social theory, grounding each pursuit in the strengths of the other.

During my Ph.D. work, I also helped to found and served as a primary researcher for the Voices of California Project (http://web.stanford.edu/dept/linguistics/VoCal/). You can find press on that project on KQED (http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201211231630/a) and elsewhere. 

The Voices of California project investigates how Californians perceive the social geography of California—how they see their communities, their regions, and the rest of the state—and how these perceptions influence language variation across the state. Our first field site was Merced, a county in the center of the state where a lot of the state’s food is produced. Then followed Shasta County (with a focus on Redding), and Bakersfield County (with a focus on Bakersfield).

As a backend engineer, a storyteller, a speaker, a futurist, and a feminist, I am passionate about using tech for good and creating positive social change.

Dr. Kate Jarvis

I was debating whether I should share this as I’m preparing for our Series A, but that fear, that calculation, is exactly the problem. Within the last year, here's feedback I’ve received from VCs, that I’d call sexist:  

- Too dominant
- Too opinionated 
- Reactive or impulsive 

The funny thing is, my team and mentors give me the opposite feedback. They say I should be MORE reactive and decisive because I overthink every decision. They say I should trust my gut more.

The traits that VCs fund in male founders (strong opinions, decisiveness, aggression) somehow become liabilities in this package.

When I compare my stories to the male founders I know, they're appalled. They may call themselves every word on that list, but it never comes up as a negative in a fundraise. 

So I'm not surprised to see another report this week showing all-women teams in Europe received just 1% of total VC funding this year, and the largest all-female raise didn't even crack the top 50 rounds of 2025.

Plus funding for mixed-gender founding teams (like we are) at Series B+ has dropped from 32% in 2016 to 22% in 2025 - a third of the funding share lost in less than a decade. Meanwhile, there are likely MORE mixed-gender teams than ever before.

The next generation of millionaires and billionaires will have fewer and fewer women.

And right now it feels like the 1950s when reporting sexual harassment could get you fired. The gender funding gap keeps growing and we’re losing the ability to even talk about it.

I know of many diversity-focused funds that’ve shuttered in recent years and some worried they won't raise again because diversity "isn't politically palatable anymore." Even though all the research in the world indicates diverse teams = better returns. 

Ten years ago, it felt socially unacceptable to share sexist views in public spaces. Now prominent partners with portfolios that are 99% men say "we just fund the best founders" and everyone nods. Yikes. Doesn't that sound familiar…

I'm not staying quiet about it because I'm responsible to more than just my next fundraise. The direction we're heading worries me.

I’ve now got a sticky note on my laptop that says “Be more. Not less.” Because that's always worked in bringing the right people into my community. And I know that vibe will compound until we're a unicorn. 

Female founders - I want to hear your stories. VCs - I want to hear your perspective. Let's talk about this. What is going on here?

CEO @ Fifth Dimension | Billion-Dollar Portfolios, Powered by AI.

I think all of the hardest things in my life have probably already happened.

I was 8 and my brother 11 years old when our house in Boston was repossessed by the government. People showed up, took all our furniture, anything that could be considered an asset. My parents declared bankruptcy.

We squatted in our own house with no electricity, no water. I remember eating cold beans from a can with a spoon, thinking: this seems kind of fun because I'm a kid and sleeping bags are cool, but I'm pretty sure this isn't normal.

There was a moment I realized my parents weren't equipped to handle things. That I was going to have to figure out how to do some of this myself.

So I've been through homelessness. I've lived with addicts. I've had a lot of tragedy in my life.

I got my first job at 12. Had 1-4 jobs at any given time from 13 onwards. I graduated high school at 17 and just kept pushing.

Fast forward to today. I'm growing a VC-backed tech company - dealing with daily pressure from investors, customers, my team and more.

One day it's losing a late stage deal. Another day an A-player leaves. Or a customer churns who I thought was all-in on our vision. Yes you can call these "problems", but when I think about this business and the daily work I GET TO do - these are paper problems. And I’ve got all the resilience in the world to face them.

The stuff my brother and I dealt with in our early years - those were REAL problems. Last week we met up in Paris for Thanksgiving with our families. We’re both doing well for ourselves, we broke the cycle.

Perspective is everything, and I've got all the resilience I need for whatever might come at me as a founder. 💥

(Pic of us making croissants and baguettes in Paris!☺️🥐)

Two founders just closed a preseed round using my exact pitch. Best validation ever 👏

Most founders would be furious. I'm energized. Here's what I see:

✅ The market is massive. Real estate operations are a $15T+ industry desperate for AI transformation. If VCs are backing multiple solutions, the opportunity is even bigger than we thought.
✅ We're solving a real problem. You can't raise capital on a copied pitch alone unless the problem resonates deeply with investors. This validates everything we've been building.
✅ First-mover advantage is real. But execution is everything. We've already onboarded tier-1 clients in investment management and asset management from Hong Kong to California. We're not just pitching a vision; we're delivering results.

If you're building something truly innovative and no one's trying to copy you yet, you might not be onto something big enough.

Competition doesn't scare me. If anything, it tells me we're onto something real.

May the best product win.

To founders who've been copied: take it as a compliment. Then out-execute everyone.

(Can't make it live? Register anyway - we'll send you the recording!)

See you there!

One of the biggest learnings for me this year: as a VC-backed founder, you have to spot when what's working isn't working BIG enough.

If you were running a business off your own capital or loan, 3X growth YoY would be amazing.

In the VC-world people only start paying attention at 5X - and getting really excited at 10x+.

So you have to turn to your team and be like: “Look, I know we've been selling the product this way. As of tomorrow, we’re selling it this other way. Good luck!”

For us, that looked like realizing prospects didn't understand what value they'd get from our product on day 1. Within 24 hours, I activated our leadership team around AI Toolkits for our core users. Within 10 days, we had our first live toolkit ready to go. Right now we're closing more contracts per month than we ever have before.

But these kinds of changes aren't easy. They create conflict and tension.

And the ability to create an organization that can withstand that stress - no, that is EXCITED to embrace that kind of stress with you - is another learning for me.

In VC-backed companies, being "good" isn't good enough.

You have to break what's working to get to what could work better.

And then do it all over again next quarter.

We took "AI" out of our name about a year ago. Why? Real estate work is computationally complex, and LLMs are often terrible at math!

The magic for real estate is knowing when to use which tool and orchestrating them to get you the right answer. For that, we use a mix of specialized models, traditional algorithms, and APIs - depending on what each subtask needs. So you can actually trust the output (unlike with generalist AI tools!) 😉

The most overlooked factor in AI adoption in real estate isn't infrastructure, budget, or executive buy-in. It's whether people actually ENJOY using the tools.

If people don't enjoy using the tools, adoption will never happen.

I love hearing the real estate industry finally talking about MVPs and experimentation, because that's exactly the mindset shift needed.

It’s all about offering them options that help them discover the joy of efficiency or automation in everyday processes.

When someone realises this actually works and makes my their life easier, that's when real adoption begins.

The ones ahead of the pack with AI adoption are the ones letting people play, experiment, and find what genuinely improves their work.

I asked Boston Properties (BXP) CIO how he measures ROI on their AI investments. His answer might surprise some people: they don't track dollars (yet!)

A publicly traded company deploying AI on decisions that involve hundreds of millions of dollars - and their focus right now is on time saved, not trying to calculate some abstract ROI number right from the start. 

Instead, they’re asking a simpler question - if we can do a specific task in less time, what does that free us up to do next? That’s the efficiency play. And it's the right starting point for most organizations that are still figuring out where AI actually fits.

Soon enough, they will expand into other ROI frameworks as they get more comfortable and deploy AI across different parts of their organisation.

If you’re hellbent on ROI from AI in 6 months, I’d like to remind you that we’re all still early in the adoption journey. You need patience. Be more like Colin! 🙂

Colin Joynt (CIO at Boston Properties (BXP) ) raised a point during our conversation at CREtech that he thinks is going to define the next 24-36 months for publicly traded real estate companies: when will firms feel comfortable attesting to AI-generated financials?

I'm having a lot of these conversations, and from my perspective, it comes down to auditability.

Can the AI you're adopting speak back to you exactly what it's done in performing any task? Which LLMs it might have called? Which formulas it relied on for a risk sensitivity analysis?

I think that is useful, but it's certainly a different way of thinking about who is responsible if something goes wrong.

There's an entire new sort of field developing right now around litigation and insurance in these areas, and it's evolving at breakneck pace.

Curious to know what do others think this is heading?

Great to see a strong turnout and interest for our first ever webinar! 💥 Ben showed the live audience how our platform handles the complex real estate investment and asset management processes that general-purpose AI simply can't.

Thanks to everyone who joined the session, and sorry we ran out of time for Q&A.

If you missed, it you can watch on-demand via the link at the bottom of this post. We're also planning a follow-up session soon that'll be more interactive and Q&A-focused where I and the team will be taking questions live. Keep an eye out on my LinkedIn! 🗓️

On this live demo, Ben focused on the critical gap between general-purpose AI (like ChatGPT) and the specialized needs of the real estate industry.

Fifth Dimension is designed to handle complex, multi-step processes where consistency and Excel & domain expertise are non-negotiable.

Here’s what we covered:

𝟭. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - Rapidly creating underwriting models in Excel and extracting key data from OMs for high-speed deal screening.

𝟮. 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 - Benchmarking full data rooms against specific checklists, cross-referencing leases and financials, and flagging critical discrepancies.

𝟯. 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 - Performing variance analysis across entire portfolios and creating IC memos by synthesizing data from disparate sources (with full source transparency).

Ben also reviewed why our specialized computational engine built for real estate financial analysis, robust data retrieval system, and core real estate expertise deliver greater than 98% accuracy. 

If you are interested in seeing what automation looks like when built specifically for CRE, then this is for you.
