This week Owen and Marcus sit down with Alison Gorman, founder of TruFaves. TruFaves is attempting to be a private, closed-circle version of something like Yelp where friend groups can share things they recommend. We got to chat with Ali about the woes of becoming a software founder without a technical background, pivoting from being a registered nurse, to reporter, to startup founder, and partnering with an accelerator.
