As twins, Anna and Kerry were used to being mistaken for one another IRL. But it wasn't until they started their job search that they realized they looked identical on paper too.

That led them to found their tech startup Searchlight AI where, over 6 years, they developed their own AI models, went through Y Combinator, raised funding from the best VCs in the world, and sold their startup to Multiverse just 3 months ago.
