Hello, everyone! I’m Shara, from Georgia, USA. I am an Instructional Designer trying to start a freelance business. My site is https://www.sharakandrade.com. I’m hoping to learn all about marketing and how to grow my business. My favorite dessert would have to be apple pie with ice cream.
Hi all, I’m Michel from Spott 
Our service allows you to uplift the performance of your website and boost sales conversion by allowing your visitors to interact with your inspiring content.
So think about lead gen, content branching, and shopping in-content being PDF, images & videos.
The fun about it is that we industrialize best practices from our users into widgets and push these for all our users to apply. So you always have the best version of interactivity.
We are super enthusiastic to be part of ELEVATE, as we are prepping to accelerate our (inbound) growth and want to learn best practices, must-do’s and discover partnership opportunities.
Favorite dessert: Tiramisu
Looking forward to seeing you all! 
Hi, my name is Nicola from Pigro an Italian startup (HQ in Bologna). Pigro means lazy in Italian. Pigro is a knowledge management tool for increasing your team productivity.

Hi folks, I’m Oli and I’m founder of getsets.co - a tool that turns a Slack workspace into a community.
- I’m based in Edinburgh in Scotland.
- I’m beginning to onboard my first customers for Sets - I’m at the stage where I’d like to start putting some rigour behind how I do things, particularly in terms of product feedback and managing a marketing funnel. I’m also just keen to connect with early stage bootstrapped founders to hear how they’re doing it!
- Hard to pick a favourite dessert - they’re all so good. But during lockdown I’ve definitely fallen in love with Ben and Jerry’s plant based peanut butter and cookies.
Looking forward to getting to know you all
Hi Everyone,
Really looking forward to meeting you all! I’m Rolf, 1 of 3 founders of PLTFRM from Utrecht, in the Netherlands. We are a B2B market vertical network that creates, contracts and actively manages IT managed service ecosystems. Using our PLTFRM, SMB, SME and public organisations can very easily collaborate with a lot of smaller specialized IT providers, which wasn’t possible before. This means innovative, sustainable, flexible and local IT providers get the chance they deserve.
At ELEVATE i’d like to meet new people, take an inspiring break from day to day business and learn about best practices that can help us democratize great IT solutions faster.
Another way to clear my head is to cook, so it has to be homemade tiramisu.
