Grace A. Belangia

Cofounder & CMO

Grace is our magnetic CMO who's as savvy in a boardroom as she is on a farm. Yep, outside her marketing magic, she runs a farm and vineyard retreat tucked away in Sonoma—complete with sunflowers! 🌻 Born in Silicon Valley and honed at UCLA, she bridges corporates and communities with flair. As a co-founder of Make Startups and a UC Berkeley prof, she's shaping the minds of future innovators. Dive deeper, and you'll find her stints as a travel writer, digital media correspondent, robotics educator, and TEDx maestro! Need a fresh perspective on the Maker Movement or entrepreneurial policy? Grace is your go-to. When she's not championing startups or advocating for community growth, she might just be penning her next travel adventure!
