Chapter 24 - The Launch

Maya returned to the city with a renewed sense of purpose.
She walked into Elena’s office at the Olympus Fund. "Mom, I don't want to just audit companies. I want to build something of my own."

Elena looked at the incredibly detailed, brilliant proposal. "It’s ambitious, Maya. It will require a lot of capital."
