Meet Your Facilitator — Twisha Anand, PhD
I bring over 13 years of mastery in strategy, operations, and AI-enabled growth—anchored by a rare combination of analytical rigor and human-centered coaching. I have:
Built and scaled startups globally, including a YCombinator alum. Most recently as the CEO of a startup, I drove 1M+ ARR with 75% gross margins in just six months, while leading multi-functional teams across engineering, product, sales, and community.
Launched a Gen‑AI platform from idea to compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, WCAG), expanding into 150 countries by tuning AI with rich quantitative and qualitative datasets.
Strategically grew peer-support communities internationally —reaching 2 million monthly users across 189 countries and 140 languages, with teams spanning 30+ countries.
My approach:
A blend of executive-level strategy (turning big visions into structured plans) and deep empathy (guiding you through the emotional and practical nitty-gritty of business building).
A framework rooted in AI-savvy operations, lean strategy mapping, and community wisdom—purpose-built for entrepreneurs and professionals in transition.
Real results, not theory: I have negotiated high-impact deals with institutions like UC Berkeley, Amazon One Medical, and Health Canada—and built ecosystems that bring people, data, and purpose together.
Connecting for Collective Wisdom
In a world flooded with digital content and AI-driven learning, I created Elevate Gather to bring us back to the most human—and powerful—form of growth: learning from one another.
As a deeply involved community member, I meet incredibly bright, mission-driven people every day. These conversations often inspire new ideas, open doors, and offer guidance that doesn’t come from a screen. My goal is to share this discourse and guidance widely, because I believe democratizing knowledge is the most effective way to multiply it. I have received so much from the people around me, and establishing Gather is my way of giving back to our vibrant community.
In our monthly Gathers, entrepreneurs and professionals converge to learn from insightful speakers, engage in meaningful discussions, and build powerful connections. Whether you are a founder, leader, or someone simply curious to grow—there is a seat for you here.

From Past Attendees
What surprised me most was how much clarity I walked away with. Whether it was a new perspective from a speaker, a vulnerable share from someone in the group, or simply the space to pause and reflect, I always left feeling more connected to myself and to others.
As someone currently on a career break focused on personal and professional growth, I've found Gather with Twisha to be incredibly valuable. She consistently organizes excellent events that bring together women from diverse career stages. It's a fantastic, safe space to share ideas and connect with peers. I'm excited for future events to stay connected and discover new opportunities that align with my evolving interests!
