""I remember interning and creating a whole deck and making a whole presentation, but never being allowed to be in the room that the presentation was in.

""One thing I knew when starting my company is I wanted every day to feel like you were moving the company forward, that you were having an impact on the user experience, that you were driving something forward.""
""Being a disruptive founder—and especially at a young age—requires a balancing act of sorts.

Lakhani aims to make investing accessible and meaningful, ensuring that every team member feels impactful in their roles.
