She's the co-founder of StartNoo, a platform tackling college affordability and student debt through service learning, while helping universities recruit, retain, and engage more students.

Whether testifying before regulators or mentoring startup founders, Daphné is obsessed with one thing: building a better world where tech works for everyone—not just the loudest voices in the room.


Because sometimes fairness means making sure to stand up so the marginalized don't get left behind.
