It all started in New York City when Elevacao CEO and founder Marisa Warren met Karen Jacobsen, the Australian voice of Siri in your iPhone & GPS devices, in an elevator…

What followed was an inspirational story and friendship that resulted in them both focusing on empowering more women tech founded businesses to get funded.

Did you know that only 3% of tech companies are founded by women, yet when funded they deliver 35% higher ROI than male-led firms! Do you want to change this? Elevacao certainly do too!
