Rachel Lee

Yo, you gotta hear about Rachel Lee. This girl’s the real deal, straight up. She’s in YC W24 now, but her story’s wild. She started Scritch, a seed startup out in SF, and get this – they’re all about AI for vet clinics. Like, voice agents that handle the front desk so vets can actually do their job instead of getting bogged down with admin bullshit. That’s some advanced stuff, right?

But here’s where it gets even cooler. Rachel’s got a crazy solid background – she’s been at Tesla Autopilot and Amazon, so she’s no stranger to big tech. She studied either Princeton or Cornell (not totally sure which – but honestly, that’s not the point), and she’s got mad skills in machine learning and software engineering. She’s been around the block, and you can tell she’s got that hustle mentality.

What’s even more dope is her motivation. She and her co-founders jumped into this whole thing because they love their pets. They wanted to change how healthcare works for animals, their families, and the vets who take care of them. That personal touch? That’s what drives her. She’s not just in it for the tech fame – she genuinely cares about making a real difference.

And get this, she’s not just a tech nerd. She’s got a creative side too – into design, social media, journalism, photography. She’s based in SF, just vibing with the startup scene, but her story’s all about mixing tech with empathy, storytelling, and just real human connection. She’s passionate about making things easier and better for people, and she does it with a creative spark.

The vibe I get from her? She’s someone who’s crushed it in the tech world, but stayed grounded. She’s driven by personal experiences, wants to solve real problems, and isn’t afraid to jump into tough problems. Starting Scritch is just her next big move in a process that’s all about pushing boundaries and making a difference in the world. No Cap, she’s one to watch.
