RE LOG - Spring 2017

56 Ransom Everglades LOG SPRING 2017 Melissa Mobley writes, “I helped organize the Women’s March on Washington on January 21st of this year. I was proud to be part of such a historic day and proud to be part of the ongoing movement. Women’s rights are human rights!” Melissa O’Neill Albert writes, “I am a co-founder of Tousled, Seattle’s leading hair and beauty on-demand service ... Tousled is a rapidly growing startup using technology to disrupt the salon and spa industry with a web app that lets customers schedule their beauty services in a couple clicks and matches them with professionals for services when and where they want them. We are post-revenue, early stage and are actively fundraising now ... We are looking for help in managing demand for our services across multiple sectors. With brides, hotel guests, editorial jobs and tech companies, we have unmet demand in our own backyard, as well as corporate clients that want us on the ground in multiple cities now ... Our business is up 600 percent year over year and we can match a client with a professional in under three minutes! Imagine what we can do with some fuel on our fire. We may be somewhat outside your investment strategy but we are closely aligned with health and wellness. In any case, I appreciate your time and would love to know your thoughts if you have any interest in hearing more. Say ‘hi’ to Miami for me. We try to go every spring break and stay on the beach. My kids love the Fontainebleau since they realized NFL players stay there, too! I can be reached at Melissa@tousled.me . Thank you!” 1990 Vanessa Chartouni de la Serna continues to raise awareness for fragile X syndrome, a genetic condition that causes intellectual disability, behavioral and learning challenges and various physical characteristics.
