Hi 👋 I'm Lizelle
Founder | AI Builder | Product & GTM Strategist | Artist | Women's Sports Junkie
My name is Lizelle, and I'm currently building Knolly. Previously, co-founder of Undock, and the founder of Women Who Startup. I love helping fellow founders and builders, book me for a call and let's build the future. Here's what I'm working on now. Find my Moonshots with Lizelle Newseltter, here.
Knolly
Your personal AI-powered second brain.
Lizelle invented Knolly, your personal AI-powered knowledge engine in March 2024 during Techstars Boulder as a pivot from BookBuddy. Knolly Alpha for content creators launched in November, 2024.
BookBuddy
An AI-powered reading experience
Lizelle invented BookBuddy in early 2024. The BookBuddy prototype allowed you to chat with your books and create a personal learning experience. BB got me invited to Techstars Boulder Spring 2024. BookBuddy pivoted to Knolly.
Founder Station
A Launchpad for Founders
Lizelle built a Launchpad and invented an AI cofounder called Alpha and invited 50 founders and 50 investors to curate a supportive community to help you figure out what to build next.
OwnTrail
The social timeline of your life
Advisor / Chief Growth Officer, 2023. OwnTrail, acquired by Teal was a tech platform where mid-career people visualized their paths through an experience graph with the tools and community to help them achieve their next milestones in life and work.
Undock
Autocomplete for the calendar
In 2020 through 2021 Lizelle served as cofounder and CMO to Undock, an AI-powered calendar that schedules, hosts and documents your meetings. When the world disconnected due to COVID we connected tens of thousands around the Globe.
Women Who Startup
A Learning Community For Entrepreneurs
Every founder needs a basecamp and in 2012 Lizelle saw no women in the rooms of technology and innovation so she changed it. Grew WWS to 30,000 members and was one of the first-ever digital communities for builders by 2015.
