Meet the Founders
Cynthia
Co-founder & CEO
Cynthia doesn't just know social media, she helped build it! With 20+ years of product leadership experience at Google, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitter, and Square, she gets social media, ads, and online shopping inside and out. Starting at MIT, her background in tech enabled her to understand shopping intelligence and build products that power millions of transactions and user interactions daily. Now she wants to bring all that knowledge to help the small businesses she loves.
Vincent
Co-founder & CTO
Vincent understands the Algorithm™ - no, really! With 15+ years of experience at Instagram, Twitch, Pinterest, and Palantir, Vincent has developed systems that keep millions of users engaged and motivated, as well as saving Instagram hundreds of millions of dollars. He's got technical program management and experience in cross-industry innovation, but what he loves most is finding (and solving!) problems other people haven't thought about yet.
Why We Started CornerStore
During Covid, small businesses had to fight to stay afloat. Their customers disappeared as everything moved online, and they struggled to make ends meet. It was clear that social media content was key to survival, but our friends didn't have the time, money, or energy to match the successful accounts they admired. Customers expect businesses to have clear, professional, and regularly-updated social media accounts, and the bar is only rising.
In the last couple of years, though, smart tools have evolved. They can take the unique presence each small business brings to their customers and neighborhoods and translate it to the online world. It also means that small businesses can afford the kind of marketing panache and help that bigger businesses have had all along.
In November 2024, Cynthia started Cornerstore to build that assistant. With Vincent co-piloting – and help from a savvy group of creatives – we've created a personalized social media assistant to help our favorite small businesses thrive online and everywhere.
“We kept seeing the same story over and over: small business owners spending hours every day on social media, posting into the void, hoping something would stick. Meanwhile, genuine customer conversations were getting lost in the noise.”
