Next Coast Ventures, LiveOak Venture Partners Lead Round 

AUSTIN, TX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ceresa, a next-generation leadership acceleration platform that is fostering a new era of diverse leaders, today announced it has closed an early seed round over $1 million led by LiveOak Venture Partners and Next Coast Venture Partners. Ceresa's mission is to democratize access to truly transformative leadership development, making it available for all. The funds will primarily be used to expand product development of the data-driven, personalized platform, further deepening value to its user base of aspiring leaders and forward-thinking employers.  

“Now, there’s a fast-growing segment of local founders pursuing missions that fall broadly under the social impact umbrella, some of which also generate profits.”

“…on the latest episode of the Austinpreneur podcast, Anna talked about her organization, Ceresa. We covered topics like Anna’s journey to entrepreneurship, what makes Ceresa different from other mentorship models, and their unique approach to matching mentors with mentees.”

“Though some men in leadership positions have reported fears of mentoring women in the wake of the #MeToo movement, more companies are now emerging that focus on creating virtual learning and mentoring environments for women. Take Ceresa, for example, which offers structured programs with virtual mentorship meetings to remove the burden of anxiety and build more lasting mentoring relationships.”

“Whether you’re looking for career guidance or are ready to share your expertise, this practical guide to all things mentorship will help you take the first step.”

Ceresa expands executive team with additions of Nicole Tanzillo and Beth Yehaskel.
