Still reeling from the incredible experience of pitching at #SXSW a few weeks ago—and now just found out I took third place in another pitch event last night. This shit is fucking brutal. Building something from nothing. Getting told “no” a thousand times. Questioning everything but pushing forward anyway. It takes everything. But moments like these? They remind me why I fight so damn hard. To every entrepreneur out there taking their shot amidst so much uncertainty—YOU got this. WE got this. To those with a dream, an idea, or a vision—it’s never the perfect time, and it’s never easy. But every big move starts small. An idea becomes a conversation, a conversation leads to an opportunity, and one step at a time, you build something real. Take the leap. I don’t know if this is all going to work. The only thing I know for sure is that I had to take my shot. To everyone who’s believed in me, supported Showcase, or just sent a kind word when I needed it—thank you. I couldn’t do this without you. Now, back to the grind. Here’s to the black sheep. LFG. ?? #Showcase #SXSWPitch #SXSW2025 #Innovation #BlackSheep #StartupLife #LFG ______ Marissa DeVito - Siegal Grant Owens Shahzore Qureshi Jarrod Blackwell Drew Eislund David Rosenberg Scott Heydt Gabriela Gironas David Blutenthal Amy Baglan Randy Coppersmith Matt Seliga Gene Graham Edward McDonald Ken Okrepkie Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania Norman Lavintman Gaingels David Offenberg, Ph.D. Jeff Teschke Max Yen Matt Ladis Charlie Roguskie Andy Gilliland Austin B.

We’ve seen the reports. Music revenue growth is slowing in the face of an onslaught of unlimited music being pumped to music service. We need to build new models to create new growth to support artists and an artform that we all love way too much.

Rooted in Americana, folk, and blues, her music is as soulful as it is thought-provoking—because to her, art isn’t a luxury; it’s essential. Beyond the stage, she develops artists, mentors through Grammy U, and champions creative activism in education. Oh, and she’s a mom to twin 10-year-olds. ???????” ??
