Hi there! I’m Ishita Arora (Twitter / LinkedIn)
I live in San Francisco with my husband. I enjoy long-distance running and lifting, hosting dinner parties, and eating my way through the city.
If you don’t know my email address, you can contact me via Twitter DMs.
Work
I’m currently building Dayslice, a storefront and operating system for services businesses. We’ve raised $6M in venture funding, have paying users, and a team of 8 full-time employees. Starting and building a company has been one of my most fulfilling experiences. I also run a small coaching practice for fellow CEOs.
Previously, I built and grew the product team at Fleetsmith (acq’d by Apple) as the VP, Product. I started my career as a PM at Dropbox (IPO’d) after studying math at Berkeley.
