Innosphere Ventures

🌟 Research Associate Spotlight 🌟 Meet Riana George, Colorado State University student and one of our talented team members at Innosphere Ventures. She’s been with us for just a few months, but her journey has already been incredibly impactful. Here’s what she has to say about her experience: “In a few months at Innosphere, I’ve seen more applications of data science than in two years of running a data science club for my university. Not only do I get exposure to the world of startups, finance, and higher-level business, but the experience of working directly with such a broad range of innovation-driven, data-minded companies has been invaluable.” We're proud to have such passionate individuals driving innovation and making a difference.
