In this episode, we chat with Christy Silvestri, President & Co-Founder of QuickFacts Inc., a software platform designed to improve business operations and efficiencies of insurance brokerages. Christy is a first time founder who found herself at the helm of a startup after working as an insurance broker for over 15 years. She is very passionate and active in the insurance community, so when she noticed a gap operationally that was in need of innovation and increased efficiency, she jumped into action.



Christy discusses the challenges and opportunities provided by being a first-time startup founder during the pandemic. She tells us about what it's like to be working in an industry and recognizing a real need for innovation, then stepping up to the plate, and also talks to us about establishing a new type of work-life balance as a startup founder, and the sometimes struggle of making your friends and family understand that.
