MEET THE FOUNDER
Neha Konakalla
"It's going after the moonshot ideas that always exhilarates me."
Even at a young age, I loved large challenges. At age 14, I placed 8th in the Scripps National Spelling Bee out of 11 million students worldwide, after 5 years of hard work and dedication. In high school, I gained an interest in building technology, and my first endeavor was creating an iOS app to help students improve their Spanish grammar skills through speaking, listening, and reading activities. My founder journey began in high school with Autism BuddyBot, an AI conversational companion to help people with Autism improve their conversational skills and socio-communicative ability. I was the youngest and only student founder among the top 30 semifinalists out of 683 heavily funded companies and university research teams in the 4-year, $5M IBM Watson AI XPRIZE. The competition challenged teams to build moonshot ideas in AI to solve humanity's grandest challenges. At Stanford, I pursued BS and MS degrees in computer science (AI track), while continuing to work on my mission of creating AI personal assistants to improve the lives of individuals. Additionally, I gained 5+ years of AI research and product development experience in roles at Pinterest, AI Brain, and the Stanford Open Virtual Assistant Laboratory. In the later years, being a member of the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab sparked my interest in computer vision. My motivation to create Pyxer was inspired by my own experiences shopping. I would spend hours at malls and online stores trying to find the outfits I liked, but never actually finding what I truly wanted and settling for the best of whatever options I had. I learned that this was the experience of many around me. I sought to find a way to help people more easily discover their style, as well as find and shop their perfect looks. This ultimately led me to use my AI background to create a company leveraging visual gen AI in pursuit of helping people feel great about themselves.
MEET THE TEAM
Lola Shook
Social Media Marketing Manager
Growing up, I was always drawn to the creative side of life, whether it was curating the “perfect” outfit or taking a sketch class during my semester abroad. My passion for fashion marketing eventually led me to the University of Miami Herbert Business School, where I’m currently majoring in marketing and minoring in management. Starting June of 2024 summer I managed the social media and brand partnerships for Pyxer. I love that my role allows me to combine everything I’m passionate about. I am fortunate to spend my time connecting with our community, collaborating with brands, and creating content that inspires confidence and self-expression. I’ve always believed that fashion should make you feel amazing in your own skin, and being part of Pyxer lets me work towards that every day!
