Memento

Memento is a fintech startup. We offer a mobile application that personalizes digital cash gifting for special occasions. Cash. The gift that everybody wants but nobody wants to give. Because no matter how much money you give it still feels transactional when it’s written from your checkbook. And Venmo is for splitting pizza, not for sending gifts.

Live Bash

Live Bash is an entertainment technology startup that is building high-tech performer centric stages for Livestream performances. Performers of all types (musicians, comedians, interviewers, dancers, etc) can easily reserve a fully staffed turnkey venue where digital collectibles of their Livestream performance can be purchased by fans.
