Meet the Team


Habiba Shalaby
CEO
Tara Stentz
CTO
We're Habiba and Tara, best friends who met in college 10 years ago. We love collaborating on ventures that use technology to solve real-world problems, particularly those affecting women.
When we saw our friends and family struggling to find the right childcare matches, we knew we had to create a solution. With our backgrounds in investment banking (Habiba) and software engineering (Tara), we made the decision to leave our corporate careers behind to tackle this widespread challenge.
We believe there's a more efficient, affordable way to connect families with quality childcare. Today, we're using technology to make that vision a reality. Hera helps people find childcare solutions that truly fit their needs at a fraction of the traditional cost.
