I believe I've read somewhere that Deena writes those descriptions herself. She doesn't talk about it, but I think this personality goes a long way with her audience.
This is an entirely bogus history. She had a tech co-founder and cut him out. I met him back in 2009. https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=8860093 Why lie about it?

Slide 8: no one cares. Slide 9: not interesting. Slide 10: 30k monthly uniques. What happened there? That is all I really care about.

Is it referencing her status as a founder(a single founder, versus having a co-founder)?

The person at the LinkedIn link is Sarvjeet Ahuja. He claims [1] [2] to be a co-founder of Wanelo, and former CTO. I haven't found him mentioned in any documentation from the company, as opposed to just being from him - except one. In the company's CrunchBase profile, he is listed as being a co-founder back in 2009 [3]. I don't know enough about CrunchBase profiles to say whether this should be considered reliable ev…
Been working on my own startup for (what feels like) too long, having to actually earn a living in the meantime, so appreciate seeing another business go from seed to growth in a similar time scale.
