KyliCorder2026's Away Message โœจ

brb building the future of salons ๐Ÿ’…


cosmetologist โ†’ salon owner โ†’ national educator โ†’ Swift developer โ†’ tech founder. nobody put that on their vision board in 2005 lol


i'm Kyli. i founded Ekos โ€” the operating system for modern salons. after a decade behind the chair as a luxury color specialist, i saw firsthand how fragmented this industry is. stylists are juggling 5โ€“10 tools just to run their business. Ekos changes that.


MSU senior, 3.8 GPA, 9 credits left, December 2026. Burgess Pre-Accelerator. pitched for $50K at BNVC. lunched with the MSU president.


East Lansing, MI ๐ŸŒฒ โ€ข Detroit obsessed ๐Ÿ™๏ธ โ€ข passport always ready โœˆ๏ธ โ€ข boy mom x2 ๐Ÿ–ค โ€ข dog mom x2 ๐Ÿพ
