#technology #AI #recruitment #pitchdeck
£500k raised
A self confessed ‘accidental entrepreneur’, women in tech advocate Riham Satti is a neuroscientist and two time postgraduate. She’s also co-founder of MeVitae, a tech company that uses big data and machine learning to tackle unconscious bias in the world of recruitment.
Riham took MeVitae through four years of D&R with grant funding from institutions including the European Space Agency and Innovate UK before swapping academia for the fundraising arena. In 2018 Riham kick started the company’s growth with a half million raise that brought in Angels and VC investors plus plenty of learnings.
