Cara Steinmann

FOUNDER & CEO / RELADIUM

Cara Steinmann — Founder & CEO of Reladium, building relational intelligence tools.

Why are we the way we are? Why do we act the way we do? And maybe most importantly, why does it get exponentially more complicated when humans collide?

Most of what I build starts somewhere in there.

Current work

SHEER Personality

Relational Intelligence Platform

For understanding each other better.

Self-awareness gets a lot more useful when we stop looking at personalities in isolation.

SHEER helps reveal what happens between people when understanding matters most.

Rhaina

Curated Strategic Network

For smarter networking.

A women-centered network built around relationships instead of reach.

Rhaina helps entrepreneurs find the right people, conversations, and opportunities without turning networking into another job.

Questions I'm Pulling On

  • Why do we connect easily with some people and struggle to find our footing with others?

  • New connections are great. But how much opportunity is already sitting inside the relationships we have?

  • Can technology make us better at relationships without making them feel transactional?

  • How much more could we understand about ourselves if we stopped looking at personality in isolation?

  • What changes when entrepreneurs build businesses around who they are instead of who they think they should be?

  • What makes certain networks unusually generative?
