Early life

Mosoiu attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and earned her bachelor's degree in computer science in 1995.

Tech Liminal

As a technical consultant Mosoiu spent a lot of time traveling and in hotel rooms. Because she wanted to work with people and be part of a community, Mosoiu founded Tech Liminal. Tech Liminal was the first technology co-working space in Oakland.

"It's easier to have more impact in Oakland with little more than gumption," Mosoiu said. "It feels like we're all in this together."
