We made it to Silicon Valley Business Journal!! ?? What a journey it has been. Over the past 7 months, I've had the honor of being followed by photographer Tomas Ovalle from the Silicon Valley Business Journal, capturing moments from Addy AI company launches to late-night grind, team meetings, and even harvesting potatoes in my garden. Tomas' story beautifully captures the true rollercoaster of building a startup --the highs, the lows, the yeses, and the nos – it’s never a straight line A heartfelt thank you to the Silicon Valley Business Journal and Tomas Ovalle for your friendship, professionalism, and dedication, and to the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and Ahmad Thomas for making this all possible. It’s a powerful testament to the strength of the Rising Startups program at Silicon Valley Leadership Group. I’m deeply grateful for everyone who believes in and supports my journey. This wouldn’t be possible without you. Let’s keep building the future, together!
