The Founder’s Cut - Episode 16 - Larissa Holmes of Coterie

Recent research has made a bold claim: prolonged social isolation and loneliness are equivalent to smoking three-quarters of a pack of cigarettes daily. Being part of a community is essential for health and well-being. It provides a sense of belonging and connection, reduces stress, and increases happiness and physical health. It also has a positive effect on mental health, offering comfort, support, and self-esteem while reducing loneliness and providing a sense of purpose.

I spoke with Larissa, Co-Founder, and CEO of Coteria (www.activecoterie.com). Larissa saw an opportunity to build a solution for the growing number of women looking for a community based on sports. Coterie is creating an online community hub to empower women by making sports more accessible through technology.
