On this episode of The SaaS Operator Podcast, we hosted Alexandra Kammer. She is co-founder of Aivy, an HR tech company that streamlines hiring for startups. This episode covers what happens behind the scenes at Aivy & their three-step pre-hiring process.
Alexandra walks us through her journey from graduate school to co-founding her startup. She also gives us the gist of her experience on Germany's Shark Tank, Die Höhle der Löwen.
Alexandra’s story is one of overcoming self-doubt caused by sexism and embracing confidence. We hope you find it as empowering as we did.
