About Ashlea & INATIGO
INATIGO was launched in 2020. Ashlea and her co-founder had to overcome significant challenges because of launching a business in a global pandemic. Launching a startup is difficult normally, let alone throughout at a time marked by significant economic uncertainty, markets being hit, lockdown restrictions, and with peoples’ attention solely focused on survival.
Due to the challenges, Ashlea and her co-founder had to quickly adapt to the issues being faced. They found ways to survive—and even thrive using their ability to pivot quickly, halting the launch of one solution and developing other solutions to help others combat some of the business impacts of the pandemic. However, overcoming these challenges brought significant and positive impacts to Ashlea and the business. INATIGO, Ashlea, her co-founder, and their solution were finalists and won numerous awards and quickly gained industry recognition for their innovative innovations.
The plan for this year is to continue to see expediential growth and industry recognition within 2022. Additionally, Ashlea and INATIGO are excited to launch new AI solutions that they believe will address some of the key topical areas in an innovative and groundbreaking way. They hope that from these new innovations people will see how their technology will disrupt the market but be used for good of people.
