Show Notes
What if you could actually see yourself growing? When you go to the gym, you see muscles. When you journal every day, you see nothing. Mariana De la Rosa and Jackelinne Vaillard wanted to change that. They're industrial engineers from Mexico studying at KAUST in Saudi Arabia, and together they're building NoorSense: an AI-guided journaling app paired with a smart flower on your desk that opens and changes colour as you look after your mind. In this episode of Women Lead AI we go straight into the business side. We talk about what they're building, how they checked the need was real, what they got wrong, and how they plan to get people to find it, use it and pay for it. 🔗
