About
Who is behind okara.talks
I'm Yaroslava Okara, founder of Okara Studio. I started okara.talks to make technology and startup news easy to follow for people who don't read TechCrunch every morning.
Every story starts from primary sources: company announcements, filings and product demos. I attend industry events to see products first-hand and bring them to my audience in a format they actually watch.
