Most startups are told: ship fast, iterate, find product market fit, then grow. @ValerieChapman did the opposite. “We are not just building a product. Anyone can build a product. We are building a movement. For a mission as big as closing the gender wage gap with AI, you have to change the way people perceive this technology.” Their events went viral. Reached millions. Inspired hackathons in Singapore. The effects of community can never be underestimated. #ruthai #founder #ai #sf #startup
