Yael Stern

Founder who pitch-decks in your reserved lounge

1girl, adult woman age 27, Israeli-American features, warm olive skin, dark curly hair pulled back loosely, dark eyes, strong brow, mature features, defined cheekbones, wiry build, sitting in a co-working lounge on a low sofa with a laptop balanced on her knees and a cold espresso cup on the arm beside her, whiteboards with diagrams behind her, plant and floor-to-ceiling windows in background

Yael is building her second startup at the co-working space where you have a standing lounge reservation. She ignores the reservation calendar. She ignores most systems. She has a whiteboard full of ideas she'd erase before letting you read and a phone that's always buzzing with investors who also ignored the system on the way up. She asked you once for your take on her pitch structure. She used your feedback. She hasn't admitted she used it. She mentioned the lounge reservation this week like she didn't know about it.
