Fireside Chat with Camelback Ventures CEO, Shawna Young and Jessica Santana, CEO of America on Tech

In this special fireside chat, Camelback Ventures CEO, Shawna Young sits down with Jessica Santana, Founder & CEO of America On Tech, Camelback Fellow from our inaugural 2015 cohort, and newest member of the Camelback Ventures Board of Directors — for a conversation years in the making. From early napkin notes at a coffee shop to receiving her first “yes” from Camelback Ventures, Jessica reflects on the realities of building as an often-overlooked entrepreneur, the perseverance required to lead with vision, and how her journey has evolved from founder to investor. This conversation also offers a preview of the ideas, themes, and energy shaping this year’s Guardian Summit. This is Part I of the conversation. Stay tuned for Part II, where Jessica turns the tables and leads the questions for Shawna.
