Marissa Mayer needs no introduction.
She was the first female engineer at Google and the CEO of Yahoo from 2012 to 2017.
Now, as cofounder of the contact-manager startup Sunshine, she wants to build software that deepens the human connection.
Launched in 2020, Sunshine is creating a portfolio of products that are "at the intersection of contacts, groups, events, celebrations," she told Business Insider. Think an old-school address book, digitized and optimized for younger generations.
