In Episode 172 of the Disruptors for Good podcast, I speak with Tanis Jorge, Co-founder of Co-founder of Trulioo and The Cofounder's Hub, on building a unicorn tech company and the importance of a choosing the right cofounder.

Tanis is a serial tech entrepreneur and a leading advisor on entrepreneurship and building successful cofounder partnerships.
​
Over the course of her career in startups, spanning the last 20 years, Tanis has cofounded, scaled, and successfully exited multiple, data-driven businesses with the same partner. 
​
Her successes culminated with her most recent venture, Trulioo, which she co-founded in 2011. Between 2011 and 2015, Tanis served as Chief Operations Officer of Trulioo, working to lay the groundwork and build the foundation for the trusted, innovative, and disruptive company it has become today. In 2021, Trulioo reached "unicorn" status, solidifying both its place as the world’s leading identity verification company and Jorge’s track record for founding successful businesses.
​
Today, Tanis is one of the go-to voices and experts on the cofounder relationship. Author of The Cofounder's Handbook and Founder of The Cofounder's Hub, her work focuses on how cofounders can function in an open, productive, and symbiotic way to ensure continued and long-term business success.
