Donna Novitsky

Depending on how you count them, Yiftee is Donna’s 3rd or 19th startup.

She was named one of the 2014 Top 10 Women to Watch in Tech by Inc. Magazine in April 2014. Donna is a frequent speaker on the topic of entrepreneurship and investment, with recent engagements at Money2020, Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford School of Engineering and the Apple Store in Soho, NYC.
