Maggie Bachenberg is the Co-Founder of Pointz, a bike safety app that offers safe navigation, route customization and 24/7 emergency roadside assistance to make people feel safer on their bikes. Maggie has been grinding away at Pointz for 4 years and was part of Techstars in 2022. Maggie shares how having shared values makes her relationship with her co-founder more resilient, how former founders tend to give the best advice, and how she's learned to set boundaries after experiencing burnout. I admire her focus and love for making her customers happy and incorporating customer feedback throughout her product development process. Speaking with Maggie has encouraged me to have more confidence and conviction in my ideas and business decisions.
