Daniela Andrade is a senior at Harvard studying Neuroscience and Philosophy. On campus, she serves as Co-President of Harvard Undergraduate Women in Entrepreneurship (WiE), the first, foundational ecosystem of female student entrepreneurs at Harvard and beyond. Through her leadership, Daniela has grown Harvard WiE from 15 members in November 2023 to over 400 members in 2024. She has spearheaded in-person events, created impactful mentorship programs, and built a strong, supportive network of students and alumni.

As Co-President of Harvard WiE, Daniela discovered that while many female students were interested in startups, they often didn’t feel ready to launch their own. To address this gap, she co-founded WWV Labs, an HR talent-matching service designed to connect top female student talent with opportunities at high-growth, vetted startups. Since its launch in September 2024, WWV Labs has already supported over 400 fellows.

Daniela’s entrepreneurial interests include artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and women’s health. In high school, she served as an Operations Intern for Teens in AI, a London-based edtech startup dedicated to inspiring teens to explore careers in tech and AI through collaborative, hands-on learning experiences. This experience inspired Daniela to co-found The Future of Intelligence as a freshman at Harvard. The organization provided students aged 12–18 with early exposure to AI for social good through free and accessible programs, including expert mentoring, talks, workshops on AI/ML, human-centered design and ethics, hackathons, accelerators, and networking opportunities.

Over the past two summers, Daniela co-founded two women’s health startups that ultimately did not succeed, but provided invaluable lessons in entrepreneurship (9 out of 10 startups fail!). She co-founded Medi.Cation.AI, a VR software solution designed to support mental health and wellness for women. She later joined MAMAMUSE, focusing on addressing the systemic biases and structural barriers faced by female founders bringing women’s functional health products to market. Her research at MAMAMUSE uncovered algorithmic biases that prevented these entrepreneurs from effectively communicating their women’s health solutions to potential customers on mainstream technology and media platforms, even after significant capital investments were made.

When Daniela isn’t working on her own startup or building startup communities, she enjoys working out and traveling with friends.
