Discovering Guest Alexandra Koys, 33, is the Founder & CEO of Lighten, a startup transforming the future of the funeral services industry. Lighten offers end-of-life arrangements designed for families who want to avoid the traditional, somber funeral home and opt for a more uplifting experience to honor a legacy. Lighten offers personalized celebrations of life that reflect an individual's unique personal, cultural, and spiritual identity. The company’s online planning portal delivers a modern, streamlined process that allows families to plan from the comfort of their own homes. Alexandra founded Lighten while pursuing her MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. A pivotal moment for the business came in 2020, when Alexandra and her team won second place in Booth’s annual startup competition, The New Venture Challenge. Alexandra raised $380,000 for the business, a significant accomplishment considering that companies founded solely by women receive only 2.4% of the total capital invested in venture-backed startups in the U.S.
