Hi I’m Nilah, I’m from California and live in NYC. At the moment I’m trying to build a venture studio that connects founders and investors in the health tech space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im working on a startup and attending some conferences in Europe. All startups are essentially broke ahaha and im trying to stretch my budget for the next 3 months as I attend a few conferences in Europe and Asia in health tech.
