Basics

Describe yourself briefly.

Prior to founding Liga Masiva, Emily brought her skills to First Manhattan Consulting Group and Greenmarket NYC among others.

Describe your Unreasonable Venture in 100 words or less.

Liga Masiva is like a global farmers' market. We directly connect organic farmers in Latin America to consumers in the US. By cutting out the many middlemen that currently exist in international trade, we're able to pay farmers 200% what they could otherwise earn, while bringing consumers a rich experience of some amazing products.
