Meet our Founder

Amelia DeSorrento

After years of advising small and mid-sized businesses on nights and weekends, Amelia finally took the plunge to commit to full-time consulting and founded Desoco. She recently left her role as Director of Product Management at Capital One, where she focused primarily on new ventures, innovation, and enterprise-wide program development. Prior to joining Capital One, Amelia co-founded Hatch Apps, a Y Combinator and Morgan Stanley-backed enterprise software startup. An advocate for women in tech, Amelia launched the Vinetta Project in DC which has since helped DC-area female-founded companies raise millions in seed-stage funding. Amelia has also taught social enterprise at American University’s Kogod School of Business, and has written for the Harvard Business Review, the Atlantic and Fast Company. Amelia has been recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 awardee (enterprise software category), Washingtonian Tech Titan, and Power Woman of DC Tech. Amelia graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University with a degree in Brazilian Literature in 2014. She lives in Fairfax, VA with her husband and their six children.
