Our team
Co-Founder, Product & Brand Lead
Mimi Newman
Mimi is a seasoned product strategist and designer who’s built everything from corporate communications campaigns at Microsoft to beloved wellness platforms like CHANI. After starting a caregiving-focused mental health startup, she tried to use grant funding to get it going but kept hitting dead ends with finding relevant opportunities. And so, Funding Findr was born. Funding Findr seeks to make access to capital radically more transparent and human. Mimi leads product, UX, and brand storytelling with one goal: to make something as dry as funding feel empowering, beautiful, and intuitive.
