"Isabel was initially my mentor for Stanford Business School's Botha Chan Innovation Program. Isabel has a breadth of experiences as an operator and a deeply technical background. She was thoughtful in advising on fundraising plans (geographic priorities, valuing the startup, how to find investors, making connections to her network), business model, choosing and compensating advisors, being an underrepresented entrepreneur, and ensuring cofounder fit. Since meeting Isabel, my startup has gone from ideation phase to being VC backed and operating. Isabel was an important part of that process. Hugely valuable resource for any entrepreneur."

She provided first-hand experience, encouragement, and insight regarding a diverse range of information, from how to commercialize innovations, to creating a valuable methodology for testing materials, as well as framing businesses that tackle multiple fronts. Learning about her experience with her start-up helped us understand the potential for our growth into commercialization. Beyond her deep expertise and visionary thinking, Isabel leads with integrity and heart. She encourages you to think bigger while remaining grounded, and she has a remarkable talent for identifying potential where others might only see challenges. It’s no exaggeration to say that her support helped guide us to what we are today. If you have the opportunity to collaborate with Isabel, take it.
