My story
About Tiff
TIFF WILLSON is a startup entrepreneur spending time between Denver, San Francisco and New York. Tiff got her entrepreneurial start at age 8, selling Christmas jackets at craft shows and hosting monthly garage sales with her family and the neighbour’s goods.
She sold her first company at 20, and at age 30 won the Tech Innovation award for her inventions in computer vision and interior design for Roomhints application with over 10 million users.
Her passion lies in building businesses and helping other entrepreneurs to do the same. Tiff has a unique ability to combine her technical, scientific, and artistic skills to help entrepreneurs build products that scale.
Companies
Using her multifaceted talents, Tiff co-founded and bootstrapped Roomhints App in 2014, to over 10 million users with little spend on marketing dollars. She further went on to sell the application in 2017 while keeping the brand.
Today Roomhints, is the #1 remodelling marketplace connecting you to sustainable design. In 2020, Tiff launched Bow to the Bee, a 100% sustainable jewelry company to support the bees.
In addition, Tiff is a growth advisor at Catalyst, helping conscious companies to scale to millions of users and revenue.

Outside Passions
I am a big advocate of giving back and inspiring the next generation. Currently, I am an active member of the Stanford Women in STEM, where I mentor Stanford students to help them navigate their professional career and succeed. In addition, I am a volunteer with Women Who Code. In addition, I sit on many small and early stage startup boards.
When I am not working you can find me rock climbing, at a yoga class, running, skiing or Dj’ing!
