Jean Brownhill is the founder and CEO of Sweeten. An architect by training, Jean spent a decade in design and construction. After a challenging renovation of her own Brooklyn townhouse, she realized the need for a free service to match renovators to the best general contractors, providing support from start to finish. The concept for Sweeten earned Jean a prestigious Loeb Fellowship from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. She is the co-founder of the African American Student Union at Harvard's GSD and one of only 11 African-American female entrepreneurs to raise over $1M in venture capital funding in 2015. Jean lives in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
