Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My wedding and my father's funeral happened just four weeks apart. For one event the planning was joyful and the other devastating. I didn't know what to do but lead the way for my family and got it done. It brought up a simple question for me: why aren't we using technology to help people through the most amazing and difficult moments in their lives? That question drove me to build Sortara, an AI driven list app that organizes your real life and digital finds!

How do you stay motivated?

Put simply, I don't —motivation is fleeting. Discipline is what truly keeps me going. Every day, I rely on consistent effort to push me toward the long-term goal of launching Sortara. When times get tough, I remind myself that steady action, not just inspiration, is what turns visions into reality.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I've already self-funded a proof of concept of Sortara. This $25K would help make it market-ready! That means refining features, launching marketing campaigns, and reaching the people who need it most. Even the best product can’t sell itself if nobody knows it exists. https://sortara.com/
