I'm relatively new to the Ann Arbor area because my husband recently started the MBA program at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. When I got into town I started meeting up with a lot of great people in Michigan's entrepreneurial space and that's how I was introduced to Seelio.
Previously I worked in Washington, DC, at the Pew Charitable Trusts, a policy research and advocacy organization so I was excited to use my time in Ann Arbor to explore something new.
Seelio is an online portfolio platform for students to use to track their college experience and highlight the great projects and skills they build throughout their studies. Being that it's a startup, I wear a lot of different hats but I mainly focus on building partnerships with educational institutions and companies so that students have a variety of opportunities available to them as they create their portfolios. I play a consultative role with companies as they create accounts to recruit directly off the platform or with educational institutions as they create a private network for one their classes or programs. Some days I am creating new marketing materials, other days I am working with our designers to construct new features for the platform, and every day I am learning something new!
Getting a chance to work in a startup is certainly refreshing and it's exciting to see how a product is developed, launched, and adopted by students, companies and educators.
