And she’s a rock star data scientist. She combined these into a dream job with ESPN. She got to dig deep into the sports analytics and data that preoccupy teams, fans, and fantasy devotees alike. She even invented a new stat! It was while at ESPN, however, that Tiffany saw firsthand how brand and media power were shifting with digital and social.&nbsp;Athletes were emerging as personalities with their own platforms and fan followings. But she saw a hole…video. It’s still too darn hard!! So she quit her job and launched her startup.</p><p>&nbsp;Tiffany is the founder and CEO of&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.curastory.co/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Curastory</a>, a company that makes it easy to get started in video. They allow creators to upload, edit, find a sponsor, and distribute video with one click to their social channels, all 100% free. Curastory is launching with a target market where they have recent national approval and first-mover advantage – professional and NCAA student-athletes.</p><p>And Tiffany is fresh off raising her six-figure preseed fundraise using crowdfunding!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3>MORE on TIFFANY AND CURASTORY</h3><p><strong>TIFFANY:</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/tiffmkell\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@tiffmkell</a> [TW]</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tiffmkell/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@tiffmkell</a> [IG]</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffmkell/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffmkell/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>CURASTORY:</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/curastoryus\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@CurastoryUS</a> [TW]</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/curastory/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@Curastory</a> [IG]</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/curastory/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.linkedin.com/company/curastory/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://wefunder.com/fundcurastory\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://wefunder.com/fundcurastory</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"http://wavve.link/Founders\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow Founders Unfound</a>&nbsp;: Like and share - help us grow!</p><p><a href=\"https://foundersunfound.com/podcast-transcript-ep17-tiffany-kelly-curastory/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>PODCAST TRANSCRIPT</em></a></p>","author_name":"Daniel Kihanya"}
