THE TOP TALKS OF THE YEAR

After another massive year, filled with insights, conversations and important inspiration for everyone, we have narrowed down our top 2 most popular talks of the year, and why they hit hard with the community. Some of them have even made headlines recently.

Check them out.

The Art of the Growth Journey

We have heard a ton of intriguing growth journey’s over the years, but one that stood out this year was one featuring Michael Baruch of Cookin.

Cookin has seen massive growth and fundraising over the years, and most recently has made headlines for getting acquired by NY-based chef meal delivery service Cook-Unity.

Michael went in-depth in his discussion about the process for building a unique meal delivery experience that is competing in an industry that relies on customer satisfaction, safety, and being a marketing genius.

Answering the Most Important Founder Questions — a Perspective from an Active Investor

One of our most popular talks from the year featured some of the top questions (and answers) from our Community of Founders and Builders.

We took to our members, and social to ask “If you could ask an active investor anything, what would it be.” Alex Norman, Co-Founder of TechTO and Partner at N49P took the time to answer exactly this.

The responses we got were overwhelming and the answers to these questions… timely. Watch the full conversation below.
