In her words
“I've written 7 books and our CTO is an author as well, and we're disrupting and transforming legacy industries with our app, products and Vertical AI book discovery and marketing.”
Chapter I
The toughest challenges you've faced as a founder.
Here’s why MyLibrarian wins at book discovery, marketing and communty—who we are and why we’re inevitable: - Patent‑pending ML/AI recommendation engine built on the proprietary Librarian Brain dataset - Massive, under‑served market: $40B book market with a $5.1B B2C TAM - Dual traction: 5,000+ readers on the waitlist and 5 B2B LOIs
Chapter II
Your vision.
MyLibrarian is the inevitable next layer on top of Goodreads + Amazon and other online booksellers for ethical, librarian‑driven discovery. The patent + dataset + librarian/author community make it very hard to copy once it’s at scale. Our Librarian Brain is essential for democratizing AI for books.
Chapter III
The impact you want to leave behind — for your industry, your community, and the women who come next.
Simply to be successful following a mission-driven product and partner with founders of the future to pay success forward. Both for MyLibrarian and our nonprofit SheFundraises.org.
