Hi there, I'm Maren

A founder and operator who's spent 15+ years building companies, products and teams.Most recently, I've been building an AI shopping assistant designed to help people make smarter buying decisions. It has made me increasingly interested in how technology can give consumers better information, more agency and more control over how they spend their money.Currently exploring my next chapter, particularly opportunities where I can build, operate, and turn ambitious ideas into something that works. If that sounds like what you’re building, reach out.Interested in: consumer AI, personal finance, commerce, and tools for small businesses and independent operators.

Based in Austin, Texas — often in San Francisco and NYC.
