ABOUT

Image displays portrait of Jenn Banda with hot pink heels, magenta shirt, black blazer jacket and leather leggings. Long brown hair and large clear frame glasses. Her facial expression resembles the Mona Lisa, uncertain if she is smiling or strategizing. Possibly, both.

Welcome!

If you saw my LinkedIn post or someone shared this site with you, I want to extend my warm welcome to the group. This is the beginning of a venture studio space but open to all who are between jobs at the moment!

The real about me:

For those who know me personally, you know I love a good playful joke. Life's challenges can feel overwhelming and finding joy in the world's stage is often the remedy that keeps me going.

But lately it's not been quite as funny. Disbelief almost. Between the dividing algorithms and hateful commentary we're exposed to everywhere we look around in digital spaces; I find myself wondering where the next "better thing" is and have been waiting for years now to use it.

Who's going to do it?

Here we go!

JennCanDoIt is a nonprofit that prioritizes mental well-being within digital platforms that help communities connect in meaningful ways.

This is a venture studio environment for people who are done building things they can’t believe in. Here, we invite talented people ready for something more meaningful, to team up, test ideas, and launch products that help communities connect in healthy ways. We share the tools, the thinking, and the momentum.

It took more than a few rejected business names to get here, but JennCanDoIt got approved, and it’s the home for everything I build next. No longer a name but my promise to myself and it all started with a Gmail account I created during the job search over 15 years ago.

If you don't know me personally - I’m Jenn Banda, a lifetime creative thinker born during Scorpio season with the intensity of an entire empire. My career has spanned many industries, and I’ve carried that knowledge across all my roles. Truthfully? I learn quickly and thrive on the curve. I’ve spent the past decade mostly on FinTech products, and before that I managed spa and retail environments in my 20's. I once declared, "If you can sell wicker, you can sell anything!" And I've lived by that motto ever since.

Seeing people win is another great joy in my life. I LOVE to help people achieve their dreams!

Spinning up digital products that help people enjoy the world's stage has become my mission.

For fun. For our future. For all the folks who need a change, just like me.

Got an idea for a digital space that doesn’t destroy minds? HIT ME UP. Let’s build.
