Caroline Blanck is a JD/MBA candidate at Stanford and the founder of Mandy, a design-forward toolkit brand empowering women to build boldly—with AI-powered instructions and unapologetically pink pliers. Mandy combines form and function to make DIY accessible, stylish, and just a bit subversive. Her background spans law, entrepreneurship, and climate. She’s worked at Davis Polk & Wardwell and Ava Labs on capital markets and blockchain regulation, and advised presidential and mayoral candidates on climate policy. As Co-Founder of The GAP Project, she built a matching platform that placed over 1,000 young people on political campaigns aligned with their values—expanding access to civic engagement across 35 states. Caroline’s academic path—from a B.S. in Environmental Science at Brown to an M.P.A. at Columbia to her JD/MBA at Stanford—reflects her commitment to solving interdisciplinary, high-impact challenges.
