On this episode of TechInColor, we welcomed Amy Yin, Founder and CEO of OfficeTogether, the company Amy started over the pandemic to help companies transition to hybrid, remote-first work offices. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Amy recounts her journey to becoming an entrepreneur – from switching career paths in college, taking a gap year in Paris to serve as the only engineer at a growing startup, and working as a software engineer and engineering manager for 10 years at Coinbase, Hired, and Facebook. As the founder of Harvard’s Women in Computer Science Organization, Amy describes her passion for building diverse communities in both college and work, and emphasizes that community can be created wherever there is demand. Amy also discusses how being a technical founder helped her start her own company (it made hiring and building the MVP far easier), as well as her strategy for choosing the right company for her (“it’s not about industry, it’s about passion and excitement”). We end the episode with one of the most important insights on our show: the importance of disentangling one's own worth and potential from professional success.
