On this episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery chats with Emma Bates, the co-founder of Diem, the AI-powered search engine with "group chat energy." Emma went to King’s College in London for war studies. Yes, war studies. Then, she switched her major to marketing. During her university days, she started a blog that went viral.
Her career took off when she landed a job as one of the early hires at Away, the cool-girl suitcase brand. Then, a broken condom sparked the idea for Diem (you'll have to listen to the episode to learn more) and a community for women, femmes and non-binary folks to share knowledge was born.
Emma and Avery chatted about the complexities of the word ‘girlboss,’ the fear of getting canceled as a woman founder and how we can all solve the gender information gap.
