Hi there!
I'm Madeline Griswold.
I'm an early-stage startup engineer and founder, all about building delightful products from 0 to 1. I co-founded & sold a website for gen-AI professional headshots and founded a secondhand marketplace for college students. My startup work experience consists of product-focused engineering and leadership roles. I've worked as consultant for several startups, advising on growth & product strategy, as well as helping with branding, design, and engineering.
