Host of the Women Disrupting Tech podcast | Closing the gender funding gap, one founder at a time.
🤔 Can you bootstrap your company and build a global team during the AI boom? Turns out, you can. And in Episode 121, Dayana Marin Valencia shows how. She calls data a co-pilot. Not the decision maker, but the guide that helps founders know when to pivot, what to double down on, and how to scale. Her story is about much more than data, though. It is about leaving Colombia to find the skills she needed. About bootstrapping Adasight during the AI boom and choosing to build a remote-first, global company with her husband. And about the mentors and allies who opened doors along the way. Here are three things I took away from our conversation: • Start measuring early, even if it is simple. Data gives you signals you cannot ignore. • Design your company with intention. A remote-first principle helped Adasight bring together brilliant talent worldwide. • Mentorship evolves. The right mentor depends on the stage of your journey. Dayana also reminded me that support is not passive. Allies make introductions. They bring women into rooms where they were not invited before.
