I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Dashfire for the last six months. They have been great partners, helping us get from idea to alpha to beta. If you have an idea, I really encourage you to apply.

Two minutes after I walk in, I see Galen and shake his hand. He tells me that as he and Ryan were coming up the stairs, they were remarking how wild it was that 150 people were going to show up at the Catapult holiday party. Just a year prior, they couldn’t have imagined it.

Time flies by fast, especially when you’re having fun transforming your idea into a real business at Founder Institute (FI).

I am proud to announce that my company Eventbin.com and I graduated from FI yesterday and I am equally proud to say that Eventbin.com is now 11,000 member strong!

A big thank you to staff at 1871, JB Pritzker, Greg from MuchShelist, Jason our Director and all the mentors for their time and commitment to the founders at FI.
