**About This Episode**
Madi Sanders left a successful corporate tech career in 2024 to build something the equestrian world was missing. In this episode she gets honest about what that leap actually looked like and what she's building on the other side of it.
**About Madi Sanders**
Madi Sanders is a lifelong hunter jumper rider and the founder of Elite Equine, a modern marketplace built specifically for the equestrian world. After nearly a decade in tech sales, Madi recognised a significant gap between the sophisticated technology she worked with during the week and the outdated systems her industry still relied on. She left corporate life in 2024 to build a platform that uses modern matchmaking technology to connect horse buyers and sellers in a way that actually makes sense for the equestrian community.
