If you got your brake pads or rotors fixed recently, there’s a good chance they were purchased through PartsTech.

Stephanie Roulic grew up in Massachusetts before her career as a Founder, startup event organizer, and early startup employee. It’s easier to just leave it there for a new audience than to detail the first three years of her childhood growing up in Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Or the chapter in Malaysia where she attended preschool & part of kindergarten before moving to Thailand to finish kindergarten and attend first grade. After all that she boomeranged back to the Bay State where she was born to settle in Billerica. Whew.

Stavvy is “software for transactions”. The team has built a digital mortgage platform that helps real estate and mortgage professionals remove paper from the mortgage process. Have you ever bought a home? At the very least you’ve signed a lease. If you haven’t signed a lease and you’re reading this from your parents basement that’s alright too. But figure it out, ok? Anyway the insight I’m trying to relay is that there is a LOT of paperwork involved.

Jack McDermott is an athlete. Or at least that’s how he saw himself earlier in life. It was a lot easier to self identify that way on the football or lacrosse field where he confidently performed instead of the classroom. You see, Jack had a stutter. Growing up, he kept getting pulled out of class to go to his speech therapy sessions. And from an early age he noticed that classrooms and our education system weren’t always designed for a kid like him. He had a problem he needed to solve.
