Season 2 of Moms in a Startup kicks off with an all new episode!! In this episode I chat with Amanda Greenberg, the CEO and Co-Founder of Balloon 🎈
Amanda graduated from Dartmouth College and completed her graduate degree in public health and environmental engineering at UNC-Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health. She discovered the need for a solution like Balloon while working as a Public Health Researcher in DC. She discovered that Groupthink plagues the decision making process in organizations. People aren't sharing their best ideas or most honest feedback. Loud voices dominate. Balloon addresses these issues by providing a platform that allows leaders to unlock insights and eliminate these biases. Check out Balloon at https://getballoon.com
