Her pitch: "Alumrise is an online talent destination serving those outside the workforce due to choice, circumstance, or life stage. It privately connects talented individuals—we call them Alumrisers—with buyers and organizations around the globe. Whether a retiree leaving by choice, a mother at home opting out due to life stage, or someone who recently left the workforce midcareer due to a sudden circumstance like a job reduction, Alumrisers have energy, talent, and skills to offer and Alumrise is the only platform focused on finding them greater work-life opportunity that fits their new life stage."
