Indian American Women Breaking Barriers: Serafina Lalany and Houston's Innovation Ecosystem

Joining us is Serafina Lalany. She is a veteran innovator with experiences as a Venture Designer and Chief of Staff at Houston Exponential, who went off a beaten path despite the chagrin of her parents and the cultural expectations of financial security. Today Serafina is the VP of Operations at Houston Exponential, a non-profit dedicated to accelerating the development of Houston’s innovation economy by fostering a robust ecosystem that supports high-growth, high-impact startups.
We chose Serafina as our guest on this podcast inspired not only by her achievements in the startup ecosystem being an Indian American woman, but also by the somewhat unorthodox experiences she had along the way.
