Amanda speaks to Lyn Johnson and Andi Garavaglia, the Founders of West 10th, a digital marketplace that encourages women to market their everyday talents to their local communities. Lyn and Andi talk about the importance of "crafted services" and the deep need for an app that supports women, local businesses, and building vibrant communities. 

After graduating from the business school at the University of Oxford, Lyn moved back to the states to start the business she began developing during her time at school. When her classmate Andi offered to help her with the business for a couple of weeks, Lyn immediately accepted. Those two weeks have turned into a nearly year-long business partnership. 

West 10th can help you find everything from home services, such as interior decorating and baking, to educational services, like music lessons and foreign language tutoring. It's a one-stop-shop for consumers and local business owners.

Bonus: Lyn and Andi's adventure to Helsinki, Finland came about because they won tickets to Slush, the world's leading startup and tech event. Slush is a movement dedicated to change attitudes toward entrepreneurship! https://www.slush.org/events/helsinki/
