Presented as part of Hispanic Heritage Month, with support from ‪@Google‬.
First-generation Cuban-American Maxeme Tuchman comes from a long line of tenacious small business owners, but she's created a lot of firsts. She was the first in her family to graduate from college with an MBA and MPP from Harvard. She’s also the first Latinx in the U.S. to land $1 million in Equity Crowdfunding for her game-changing startup Caribu, the interactive video-calling platform for kids and families. Here, she shares how her family’s saga inspired her to launch her business and ensure families like hers stay connected.
MAXEME TUCHMAN (“Buscándole”) is the CEO and co-founder of ‪@cariburelaxvideosandsongs3397‬ (caribu.com), an interactive video-calling platform that allows parents and grandparents to read and draw with children when they’re not in the same location. Max, a first-generation Cuban American, was the first Latina to raise $1 million in Equity Crowdfunding, was named one of Inc. magazine’s Top 100 Female Founders in 2019 and is currently a participant in the Google for Startups Academy.
