Sloane Tilley is used to talking about trauma. After a cycling accident left her with a broken back, she was nspired to found her own company to develop technology that could help others who had undergone similar tragedies. But, as she progressed through her start-up journey, she began to question why she only felt it was acceptable to share one part of her story, while she and others swept uglier forms of trauma under a rug. Sloane Tilley is CEO and cofounder of E-Sentience, Inc. She has a BS and MS in Environmental Health Science and Engineering from University of Carolina, Chapel Hill and graduates with a Global Executive MBA from Duke Fuqua School of Business in May 2023. She has 6 years experience in business development, product management, and sales in startup and scaling biotechnology companies. As an elite triathlete, she started her wearable sensor company–E-Sentience–after a bike accident resulted in a broken back and leg, PTSD, and no way to measure bodily response to cognitive/physical stress. She is driven to create innovative wearable technology to help people understand and cope with mental/physical trauma. E-Sentience has raised $500,000 in pre-seed funding. Sloane continues to compete in triathlons as a member of GRIT USA, a triathlon team in Washington, DC committed to raising access and diversity in sport. She completed her first Ironman in May 2022 and qualified for World Championships.
