Last week I spoke at TechCrunch on Consumer Social Network Effects and the future of Experiential Commerce. ?? I had the privilege of drawing a standing room only audience, how it went! ?? ?? ?? I was joined by industry leaders that have shaped much of the consumer social space today such as Josh Constine and Caden Moskowitz who asked me about product differentiation in a very saturated event marketplace. ?? The answer? Vently gives communities that use a product for ticketing, a place to collaborate, engage, and discover as a community outside of just a place to sell a ticket. ? I had the opportunity to connect with other community builders like Shama Zehra from New York, building a community for Travelers with JETZY and Cheryl Lee telling stories and building communities all the way in Singapore! ???? A S/o to my Head of Growth, Gargi Kand, who joined me on stage to talk about our GTM strategy and how we’ve built a strong presence in a place like San Francisco—all before even launching our product. ?? And a huge thanks to Carson Vey who flew out from NY to join, advise and help operate between hosting and speaking. Much more to come! ?? #TechCrunch #Vently #Startup #SanFrancisco #GTM

If someone had told me I’d land a spot on a TV show... ?? It all began with a simple application for the Los Angeles Venture Association's Elevator Pitch, and it quickly turned incredible when my company, Aspivix, was selected as participant: ?? Over 40 startups from various industries pitched their ideas ?? A panel of 5 renowned investors judged the competition ?? Four great sessions in LA from June to August ?? And only one winner would snag a chance on the Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch TV Show... ... Aspivix has been selected as the winner of the final competition! ?? I'm beyond proud and honored to represent a start-up leading the charge in Women's Health with innovation improving women's care. ?? Now, let's get ready to pitch live on TV and persuade the jury (Marc Randolph, Kim Perell, Jonathan Hung, Rogers Healy, Dhani Jones) to join our mission on making a strong social impact for women's care. My takeaways: ??Startup life is a wild ride—always believe in yourself and trust your vision! ?? Hard work pays off (even if it takes time) ?? Building connections is crucial! ? Always take that leap; you’ve got nothing to lose but regret! Congrats to all the inspiring entrepreneurs I've met!
