https://lnkd.in/g3DBWGSv When I first met Hamza Z. in early 2022, I was struck by something incredible: GitStart was changing lives, empowering women in remote areas to thrive as software developers. That vision moved me to invest as an angel. Fast-forward to 2024, I’m now impressed by GitStart’s growth and resilience. Their work combines the brilliance of human engineers with the power of AI agents, effectively giving teams elastic engineering capacity to ship more software, faster. A heartfelt thank you to Hamza and team for this amazing opportunity. Their mission to empower developers in underserved regions is close to my heart, and I’m excited to be part of this journey. As part of this engagement, I’m excited to share insights on how to maximize engineering budgets at Plato Elevate 2024 in San Francisco on June 5-6. Details are in the comments below.
Incredibly excited to work with you more Maria Zhang! Looking forward to the talk at Plato Elevate (June 5th & 6th, San Francisco) later this week.
It's an honor to work with you Maria Zhang!! Thank you for helping us to get here. And I am really excited to working together to go well beyond!
It's been great getting to know you in our few meetings together, and the quote you shared is one of the main reasons that attracted me to GitStart too. I'm happy we're on this journey together, and hope it'll be for the long term ❤️
Enjoy and have fun on this journey
