Adrienne Lewis flew into Chicago from Atlanta to be with her @imblackintech family for the event. She seized the moment and gave us her 60 second pitch for @travellockr, her startup that secures your flight info, itinerary and curates every aspect of your impending trip for you, so you can just focus on HAVING phenomenal experiences, instead of stressing about how to actually plan them. She said it was her 1st time ever pitching the new biz in front of a room, EVER, but we couldn't tell, she was like a seasoned vet! Congrats to being afraid and shooting your shot anyaway. #TBT to #TheFoundersSeries #TFSvol2 (BETA LAUNCH) Wed, October 4, 2017 @blue1647chicago @bluelacuna _____________________________ #ImBlackInTech #BlackInTech #BlackFounders #BlacksInTech #Entrepreneur #Tech #BlackWomenFounders #WomenFounders #LatinosInTech #LatinasInTech #LatinoFounders #LatinaFounders #Technology #TechDiversity #DiversifyTech #Googleforentrepreneurs #Gallery (at The Blue Lacuna)
