BACKSTORY:

Embracing change has been the single constant in my life. Growing up in Phoenix, a city built in the Sonoran Dessert against all odds, I saw real change spearheaded by bold innovators and entrepreneurs, oftentimes coming from classrooms and university labs. Through ThePulsate, I want to back those bold innovators who defy expectations, solve the "unsolvable" problems, and create transformative change. Yesterday's barriers were building a city in the desert. Today, we are trying to develop self-driving cars. We can't tell what tomorrow's barriers will be, but I want to create the empowerment these future boundary-breakers need.
