  • Atabey Outdoors operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a focused mission to increase access to outdoor activities for underrepresented youth. Her background as a New York City native with Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, combined with childhood experiences in the Dominican Republic, fostered a deep connection to nature. This personal journey highlighted the lack of diversity in many organized outdoor programs, motivating her to create an inclusive space. The organization's core activity is providing safe and fun outdoor adventures for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) girls and non-binary youth aged 8 to 12. Atabey Outdoors addresses the historical and financial barriers that limit participation from these communities in outdoor recreation. Its operational model is centered on offering these experiences, which include kayaking, paddle boarding, and hiking, at little to no cost, with a suggested donation of $30 to cover gear, meals, and fees, and scholarships are available. The name "Atabey" itself is a reference to the supreme ancestral mother spirit of the Taíno, the indigenous people of the Caribbean, connecting the organization's identity to a heritage of nature and fertility. A distinctive feature of the organization is its "Theory of Change" model, which intentionally links every outdoor adventure to the development of important life skills. These programs are designed to promote social, emotional, physical, and mental growth by integrating social-emotional learning concepts. The leadership and mentorship team is composed primarily of Women of Color, providing relatable role models for the participants. One of its key initiatives is the Junior Outdoor Mentor Program, which empowers older participants to develop leadership skills by mentoring younger girls, fostering a cycle of community and engagement.

  • AttachSTOR

    Enterprise software

    AttachSTOR, also known as Attachsoft, operated in the email management software market, providing a solution to address the growing issue of data storage consumption. The company developed a technology designed to optimize email server space by targeting redundant file attachments.The core of AttachSTOR's product offering was a system that intelligently scanned emails to identify duplicate attachments. Upon finding redundancies, the software would strip the attachment from the email, storing a single instance of the file in a separate repository. An embedded link was then left in the email, allowing users to access the file as needed. This process significantly reduced the amount of storage space required by email systems, a critical value proposition for enterprises managing large volumes of electronic communication. The business model centered on licensing this technology to corporate clients.In a significant milestone, the company's intellectual property and patent portfolio were acquired by Tacit in March 2004. As part of the deal, Tacit, a firm specializing in WAN file sharing technology, also hired a number of AttachSTOR's engineers. Following the acquisition, AttachSTOR was expected to cease operations as a standalone entity, with its technology slated for integration into Tacit's product suite to extend file-sharing optimization to email attachments.
