Meet Danika and Elizabeth

Regular pulse checks aren’t just for patients. They are essential for keeping your business and yourself going for the marathon of starting and building something. After working together in a Harvard research lab, Danika Khong and Elizabeth Wu recognized they shared more than just a passion for science—they shared a frustration with the broken pipeline between academia and industry. That shared experience sparked Scismic, an HR tech platform revolutionizing skills-based hiring for STEM professionals. But building a company together wasn’t just about solving a market gap—it was about building together in a way that was sustainable and able to withstand the extremes. Danika and Elizabeth are a masters class in systematizing check-ins to catch early burnout and business stagnation while also creating a co-founder dynamic built to last.
