Allyson Plosko ACHiEVE MILLENNIAL

Allyson Plosko was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She studied Psychology at Tulane, which she attended on scholarship, and was particularly interested in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. She canceled a trip to go overseas to teach and opted to return to Houston to be close to her mother who was facing health challenges at the time. Allyson was moved by how her mother struggled to get needed physical and mental health services and unfortunately, the absence of that care was the key contributory factor to her passing after a year. This became a mission for Allyson to explore ways to enhance the healthcare ecosystem. She began working with an accelerator focused on healthcare investments called Village Capital. She is now a Director at Telocity, funding startups at the seed and pre-seed level to support adolescent mental well-being.
