Ever felt like you don’t belong? Like when you enter a room, you’re the only one who has gone through what you’ve gone through? Or simply, that there’s no one there that looks like you? 

This was something Daniela De Stefano Pachon faced throughout her life. From being an outcast in Georgia as a Columbian immigrant, to “too” American for her Columbian relatives, to the only woman in the room with Venture Capitalists — Daniela has had to overcome identity crises in order to get past her fears and find success as a co-founder of a tech travel startup, Trip Loop.
