      Founder Interview

    • Tal Flanchraych, Co-founder Flywheel (raised $35m)

      "Gesche is the best connector I've ever met, hands down.

      Also, unlike many community builders, she is not at all self-serving - she genuinely loves to help others without any expectation of something in return. It also doesn't hurt that Gesche is an eternal optimist and her cheerfulness seems to spread by osmosis. She is a rare breed of human."
