Stories from the Community

People join FAH from different walks of life, each bringing their own hopes and hurdles. Read a few honest accounts from our growing community.

Transitioning to tech as a single mom was tough. I used FAH after a friend's suggestion not sure what to expect. I ended up connecting with a founder who took the time to hear my story. Now I'm working remotely on projects I care about, with a team who values flexibility.

I applied to a lot of jobs and didn't always feel like my background fit the usual mold. After joining FAH, I had a chance to discuss my experience more openly. Eventually, I joined a small team working on mental health, blending design with practical impact. It hasn't been easy, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

Moving from Beijing was challenging I worried about fitting in somewhere new. Through FAH, I found someone looking for a partner with my skills, who also valued different perspectives. We're still figuring things out, but it's been a surprising and positive experience so far.

My path into tech was anything but straightforward. I met founders on FAH who were willing to give me a shot, seeing beyond the usual resume. I'm now helping build educational tools for people with backgrounds like mine. It feels good to be part of something that understands real challenges.

Leaving big-company life for something smaller felt uncertain. I appreciated being matched with a founder who wanted to discuss ideas, not just roles. We're now working together on environmental projects. It's a work in progress, but I feel more motivated than I have in years.

I was searching for a fresh direction and ended up connecting with a startup through FAH that shared my interest in food tech. We've hit a few bumps along the way, but building something new is always a little messy and that's okay.

Coming from a small town, I wasn't sure if I'd find a place in global tech. Using FAH made it easier to reach people I wouldn't have met otherwise. My path hasn't been straightforward, but I'm glad to be learning and contributing to teams that value growth from anywhere.
