Elnaz Sarraf is our guest today.

Elnaz, is the CEO and founder of the award winning Roybi Robot - the world's first-ever AI-powered smart toy to teach children language and STEM skills. It also has been named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2019, on the 2019 CNBC Upstart 100 list as one of the world's most promising startups and on Fast Company's 2019 World Changing Ideas.

Growing up as a woman in Iran, Elnaz witnessed the limited opportunities in education, leading her on a journey to create technology that would empower children by providing access to personalized learning and an education that prepares them for a better future. With 15 years of experience as a serial entrepreneur, Elnaz now leads ROYBI (creator of Roybi Robot); an investor-backed EdTech company focusing on early childhood education, that recently raised $4.2 million in its seed round.

Listen closely to her responses, you will notice Elnaz has a different approach to fear, one that we all can learn from. 

She also shares with us about getting funding as a female founder and immigrant, the importance of building a team, and potential of AI technology in Global Education
