Founders in the Wild

This episode of Founders in the Wild features Tanis Jorge, serial entrepreneur and author of The Co-founder’s Handbook. Tanis shares the stories of her first business and some highlights from the last 20 years, when she cofounded, scaled, and successfully exited multiple, data-driven businesses with the same partner.
 ​
 Her successes culminated with her most recent venture, Trulioo, which she co-founded in 2011. Between 2011 and 2015, Tanis served as Chief Operations Officer of Trulioo, working to lay the groundwork and build the foundation for the trusted, innovative, and disruptive company it has become today. In 2021, Trulioo reached "unicorn" status, solidifying both its place as the world’s leading identity verification company and Jorge’s track record for founding successful businesses.
 ​
 Tanis shares some advice from her book, The Co-founder’s Handbook as well as a founder resource, The Co-founder’s Hub and her newest venture, the Live Learn Launch Academy.
