Founders inspiring founders! Jasmine Maietta, founder of Round21, was on our Pitch Night last week and inspired Nadia Haven with her amazing pitch. Such a great reminder that you never know the ripple effect you have and who you are inspiring.

New Feature Alert: Video Recording From Events

Want to go to an event but the timing doesn’t work?

We’ve added two things:

1) The ability for admins to be able to download event video and audio to share.
