Fueled
Architect

Fueled is a New York City based mobile application design and development agency that specializes in emerging mobile applications. Fueled started at General Assembly, a startup hub and incubator in Manhattan, shortly after the release of Apple’s App store. The app genius’ at Fueled are responsible for some of the coolest, most cutting edge apps in existence. We are very selective about what clients and projects we take on and which ones we flat out reject. We produce award winning apps (our awards range from places such as Digiday Mobi Awards and the Webby awards), so there’s no way we can settle for anything less than perfection. The Fueled clients range from startups to well established brands such as Porsche, Proctor and Gamble, Gilt Group, GoDaddy and the Chicago Bulls.

We now have the Fueled Collective as well, housing over 20 startups in an awesome environment. The Collective is more than a shared office space, it is an environment for young startups to grow and mature. The Collective does not force renters into leases, giving them the freedom they need to grow or shrink as needed.

MO: What factors do you attribute to the impressive growth the Fueled has experienced since launching?

Lyss Stern
Lyss Stern
Divalysscious Moms
Founder

Founded by New York City mom Lyss Stern, Divalysscious Moms was born to bridge the gap between a glam, pre-baby lifestyle and a post-baby life where, well, let’s just say there are more midnight feedings than midnight soirées.

Rather than toss aside her beloved stilettos for strollers, Lyss embraced them both and created a company that keeps the party going (except at nap time).

DivaMoms are fun, fabulous and one-of-a-kind — from trendsetter and career woman to stay-at-home and think-outside-the-juice-box mom. At the Divalysscious Moms events, they get together to experience sensational events, meet new friends, or catch up with old ones – all with no stress! DivaLysscious Moms hosts fabulous events for both moms and kids.

MO: Can you talk about your ‘aha’ moment of having the idea for Divalysscious Moms and the journey of taking the concept and turning it into a reality?
