How This Female Startup Founder Raised $14 Million
Alexandra Keating is the co-founder and CEO of DWNLD, a mobile app platform that enables media companies, brands, and influencers to easily and affordably create beautiful, native mobile apps.
The platform can transform any website or web medium (social media channels, photos, GIFs, videos, etc.) into a fully-functional app in a matter of minutes. The company has raised $14M to date and is based in New York.
Previously, Alexandra sold her first tech company, a charity platform that she started in Australia at the age of 19.
And if that wasn't impressive enough, she's also the daughter of former Australian Prime Minister, Paul Keating.
