Emily has been on all sides of the funding conversation — as a company founder, a coach to startups, and now a funder herself as Managing Director of Reboot Democracy. In the wake of the 2016 election, Reboot Democracy was created to bring innovators in technology and politics together to spur the development of tools that will revolutionize our democratic system.

In addition to her political activism, Emily is also CEO and founder of Keyrious, a luxury wearable tech startup with a focus on experiential gifting.

Emily served as a design thinking and lean coach/mentor for the Citrix Innovators Program at the Citrix Startup Accelerator, and holds degrees in Neuroscience and Musical Theatre from USC. She graduated from The MMM Program at Northwestern University in 2013 with a Masters of Engineering from the McCormick School of Engineering, an MBA from The Kellogg School of Management, and a certificate in Design Thinking & Innovation from the Segal Design Institute.
