Startup Life Show With Ande Lyons

Being viewed as a “minority” can be exhausting and frustrating, especially when you’re up against a trifecta of bias.Our guest, the Fierce Female Founder Kerry Schrader, was not going to let the triple plied bounty of bias stop her from reaching her dreams as a successful founder.In 2015 Kerry teamed up with her daughter, Ashlee Ammons, and they founded Mixtroz, a tech startup that helps meeting attendees easily mix, meet and mingle with one another; all while helping the event organizer learn more about attendees based on their in-app responses to customized questions.This dynamic Mother/Daughter team went on to close a $1 million round of funding, making them the 37th and 38th Black Female Founders to ever close a $1M+ round of funding. A breast cancer survivor and a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Kerry has more than 25 years’ experience positively impacting the human assets of large companies, including Ford, Alcoa, and Sears Holdings Corporation.To learn more about Mixtroz, please visit: htt
