If you value the Teton region’s new economy—beyond tourism and resource extraction—and a suite of free programs from Founding to Funding, please support Silicon Couloir at Old Bill’s.
Access for All: SIlicon Couloir & happyly
Caitlin Iseler, Founder of happyly and a busy mom, felt there needed to be an easier way for families to get outside together. So, after a 15-year career with tech companies, she decided to build an app to give parents suggestions for activities in under 60 seconds for a 5 star family time.
Today happyly serves families across the US in thirty locations and is growing by the week. Activities are sourced by a passionate team of ambassadors that share local knowledge of quality family experiences.
As a TEAMS company, Entrepreneurship Essentials graduate, and a Pitch Day 2020 finalist, Silicon Couloir has been instrumental in happyly’s growth.
Pitch Day provided Iseler with an opportunity to hone her pitch and build awareness for the company. The coaching and hard work paid off. Iseler took home the Audience Choice Award.
Despite the isolation brought on by COVID, Iseler has never felt alone. As part of the Silicon Couloir community, she has a network of mentors, coaches, and peers, so there’s always someone available to take a call, share advice or simply listen.
“SC made it easy for me to invest in myself and my business by providing both low-cost and no-cost programming,” states Iseler. “It’s the gift that keeps on giving! It's such a special community and being part of it has helped me and happyly beyond measure. I have been the recipient of so much goodness and hope I can return that to this community over a lifetime.”
