❯ Graduation Keynote Address:

• Tori Sullivan - CEO @ Barnwiz:

Having a background of breeding, riding, and competing horses on her family’s farm Tori struggled to find trusted professionals in the horse industry. She worked in healthcare modernizing the technology for 20 years and in 2014 BarnWiz was launched as a directory of professionals local to Maryland and Virginia areas. Along the entrepreneurship path, Tori attended Virginia’s ICAP, Tampa Bay Wave’s Women in Technology accelerator program, graduated from Founders Insititute and Founders Lab along with completing various marketing certifications, pitch events big and small, online and in person. She bootstrapped, sold her home, raised $450k from Friends and Family and in 2022 BarnWiz expanded a SaaS business tool to help match professionals with horse owners and riders. Join us and learn about her journey and the BarnWiz App to find out about what it takes to succeed - and book local trusted professionals for riding lessons, horse boarding, training and more.
