About Michelle (aka @michwirantono)

Born and raised in Indonesia, Michelle moved to the USA to study where she met her 5 co-founders. After college, she got a great job but end up leaving it 3 months later to take her company through Y Combinator. Their first startup was a stock exchange platform for Indonesia, but they had to pivot due to regulatory constraints and end up building Cotter, a No-Code passwordless login, that was later on sold.
