Somewhere between the beach and the boardroom

Mischa Armada is a traveler, entrepreneur, and marketing & growth advisor who helps founders turn ambitious ideas into market leaders.

She was part of the original team that launched Tinder in 2012, helped scale Honey before its $4B PayPal acquisition, and co-founded Stayawhile—a VC-backed startup that let members live in boutique hotels worldwide for a flat monthly rate. Over the past decade, she's contributed to companies that have generated over $15 billion in market value across tech, travel, and consumer brands.

An OG digital nomad before it was cool, she's lived and worked across Manila, Bali, Singapore, Cape Town, NYC, and now calls Los Angeles home—where she advises early-stage founders and hangs with her French bulldog Butters.

Mischa loves exploring the unknown, remote beaches, no itineraries, new cultures, interesting people, Aperol Spritzes in good company, and near-life experiences that remind her why she's here.
