BIPOC Founders Disrupt Tech-Bro Narrative ". . .when they're doing something on their digital devices, that kind of connection and mirroring back and communication was not there. . . To solve the problem, Raha built PopSmartKids, a digital storytelling app that makes it easy for parents, teachers, and mentors to give kids feedback on the stories they create using the software.
"My venture is both mission-driven and personal. In my 15 years of career as a tech exec, my goal has been to promote the 'human factor in technology'. Raising two kids and being responsible for them has made me realize how important and powerful that phrase is. . . "
