Wonderment is “post purchase e-commerce software for retailers”. Founded in 2020, Wonderment was created by two former Hubspot colleagues who were independently exploring building something in the e-commerce space before they decided to come together. Brian Whalley & Jessica Meher were soon joined by Wesley Abbey on the engineering side of the house with a mission to help build a better post purchase experience for e-commerce retailers.
As the Chief of Staff at late stage marketplace technology company Mirakl, it makes perfect sense that Amelia Van Camp was born in Commerce, Michigan. Her spiritual guide up above might just be a capitalist. But if you asked Amelia where she’s from she would say a small town in Illinois 60 miles outside of Chicago.

CareAcademy is “training & up-skilling software for caregivers”. Founded by Helen Adeosun in 2016, Helen moved to Boston from Georgia to attend the Harvard Graduate School of Education. There, she took a class called Development Ventures as part of a cross-registration between MIT & Harvard graduate students. The focus of the class was to come up with businesses which had social impact. Helen proposed a concept for upskilling care workers that was well received and, just a year later, her entrepreneurial journey began. Two years later, she was focused on the business full time.

When it comes to building a career, TJ Massie has always been on offense. Even if an earlier chapter of life had him playing a slightly different position. He’s a big thinker, conscientious relationship builder, and calculated risk taker who has a lot to teach us about building trust through relationship selling. Let’s get to it!

TrustCloud, f.k.a. Kintent, is a “trust assurance platform to turn GRC (governance, risk & compliance) into a profit center”. Founder Sravish Sridhar started the company in 2020 after previously starting, scaling and selling a backend as a service (BaaS) startup by the name of Kinvey to Progress in 2017. I think he wanted to convey the intent that he was ready to help reinvent the back office again. And in a much bigger way. Is that too much?

This Boston area late stage growth startup is a second attempt business founded in 2007 by Stefania Mallett & Briscoe Rodgers. The original concept had traction but was unfortunately shut down when they ran out of money before it could reach profitability. The second time, Stefanie & Briscoe had a great insight for their restart*. They pivoted the company from a vertical, single industry approach to a horizontal, multi-industry model.
