No More Swiping in the Dark: Talking Women in Tech and the Pheramor Story with Asma Mirza and Dr. Brittany Barreto
What is it like for women in tech? Our guests, Asma Mirza and Dr. Brittany Barreto, make up two-thirds of the founding team for Pheramor, a genetics-based dating app. In this episode, Asma and Brittany discuss their journey from asking the question: “Can I make a ‘GeneHarmony.com?’” to where they are today. We learn how Asma and Brittany became a “base pair” after a pitch competition in Houston, the story of Pheramor, and how to tackle the challenges they (and others) face as female leaders and entrepreneurs.
