Our team
Amy Dornbusch
Founder & CEO
I am a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, investor, champion of women and girls, and most lovingly, a mother.
As the General Partner of Willowtree Venture Fund, Director of the Marks Family Foundation, and recent cover feature in San Francisco Magazine for raising $21M in one night for cancer research, I live my belief that business, philanthropy, deeply meaningful relationships and life’s most exciting adventures should not exist in their own silos. When passionate women come together and take life and wealth by the reins, we can become a powerful force multiplier of impact. AtlasDaughters is not only a natural progression of my life’s work, but also what I believe will pave the way for the future of philanthropy and travel.
I hold myself to the highest standard on your behalf to seamlessly integrate once-in-a-lifetime adventure travel, bonding, and philanthropic education tailored specifically for mothers and their children and unprecedented access to vetted and innovative organizations ripe for investment. With $30 Trillion set to pass hands to women by 2030 and less than 2% of philanthropic capital designated for women and girls’ issues, now is the critical time for mothers to meet this moment while enabling an impactful experience for their children so they can begin to see themselves as empowered agents of change. If not for us, let’s do it for our children.
Let's go move mountains!
xoxo,
Amy

Travel Experience
Founder & CEO of Neverseen
Neverseen is a boutique travel company with a passion for fostering a deeper connection with ourselves and our world, and doing so while having fun in the most beautiful corners of the world. Joining Amy on this new initiative marks an exhilarating new chapter for us, one where our longstanding commitment to sustainability, conservation and purpose-led luxury travel becomes a part of a larger narrative of philanthropy and impact.
Having traveled widely in the pursuit of unlocking the most astonishing experiences of our time, Amy's vision with AtlasDaughters immediately rose to stand as a beacon for conscientiously crafted, impact-driven, earth-conscious travel experiences, and it is a privilege for us to power these journeys. Together we’re crafting trips that are as much about the meaningful footprint we leave in the world as the core life memories we take away when traveling with those we love.
Thrilled to embark on these transformative journeys with such an exceptional group of women!

Creative - Design & Experience
Founder of NS Design Agency
Over the past two decades, I’ve led design and innovation across health tech, fintech, AI, and philanthropy — building products that improve lives and open new possibilities. From AI-powered fitness at Tonal to expanding access to crypto at Coinbase, I’ve seen how thoughtful design can drive real-world impact. But over the years, I’ve learned that my deepest passion lies in work that blends purpose, creativity, and meaningful change.
Shaped by my roots, my journey, and the women who paved the way for me, I’ve always believed in creating spaces where women and the next generation can lead, dream bigger, and become catalysts for good. AtlasDaughters embodies that vision. This isn’t just about travel — it’s about building lifelong connections, exposing our children to bold ideas, and using our resources to invest in a more equitable future for women and girls.
I’m honored to be part of this extraordinary team of women, building a beautiful brand and experience alongside Amy, where philanthropy, adventure, and legacy come together, and where we lead not only for ourselves, but for the world we want our children to inherit.
With gratitude,
Nina
