In episode 64 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast, I speak with Di-Ann Eisnor, CEO of byCore and Co-Founder of Neighborhood Start Fund on selling Waze to Google for $1 billion and bringing the best of Silicon Valley to underserved communities in America.
We also speak about her short time at WeWork on building connected cities and lessons learned about toxic company cultures.
Previously, she worked at Waze and later Google for ten years, where she started the US office of Waze in 2009 (acquired by Google in 2013 fro $1 billion), ran growth, business development, and platform.
While at Waze, she founded the Connected Citizens Program, which worked with 800 cities and departments of transportation to use data to reduce congestion and improve emergency response times.
Di-Ann serves on the board of Saia Inc. and Gray Area Foundation for the Arts. She is a venture partner at Obvious Ventures and is co-founder with Lupe Fiasco of Neighborhood Start Fund, a neighborhood-based micro-fund in underserved urban neighborhoods.
