Hi Everyone!

 

I am Uzo and I live in Calgary, Canada. My startup is wenizi.com and it's currently in the test phase. It's a networking platform dedicated to empowering and connecting local African immigrant communities.

 

I want to learn what the right path is for me to be able to scale the platform, attract the targetted audience, partners, and investors.

 

I love pineapples and chocolate cake...I really do, BUT not together.

 

Really looking forward to making this a productive use of my time.

Hi everyone!

 

I'm Althea Jones, founder of Womb & Wellness, a maternity services marketplace that connects pregnant and postpartum people with vetted providers. I'm from Toronto, Canada and I'm excited to learn strategies to get the traction needed to make a significant impact on maternal health. 

 

If cotton candy doesn't count as a dessert then it's a toss up between funnel cake and apple pie (depends on the day).

 

Nice to meet you all!

Introduce yourself!

Hello Everyone,

 

My name is Islam Kalouda, I am based in the DC metro area and my Co-founder is in Detroit. We are launching Farmacy Food in Detroit, it's a tech-enabled healthy community casual restaurant that takes the “Let thy food be thy medicine” quote quite literally and creates tasty meals around peoples’ dietary needs. We allow customers to submit test results, from hospitals or selected 3rd party vendors, that share their vitamin/nutritional deficiencies, which we use to construct meals that help support their health and overall well-being.

 

My friend and Co-founder graduated with a business degree but I on the other hand am in healthcare with a Physical Therapy degree. I am looking to improve my knowledge in business and creating a start up.

 

My favorite dessert is tough to choose because as my wife states, I'm a human garbage disposal. I can count what I hate more easily than what I love.

Eric_LabSports

Introduce yourself!

Hey everyone, 

 

My name is Eric, I'm one of the co-founders of Labrador Sports, located in Baltimore, Maryland. Currently just being operated by myself and a partner, we've built a series of web-based tools to allow sports coaches to better instruct their players away from practice. We currently support basketball and lacrosse.

 

We originally started this project as a hobby, but just prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, we saw pretty massive growth that have us taking the venture a bit more seriously. I'm especially interested in learning about early-stage funding opportunities. Our development and marketing efforts have been entirely cash bootstrapped, so I'd like to understand what our next set of potential moves look like.

 

Favorite Dessert: I like to keep it simple with Oreo cookies.

LightMynd
Participante

Introduce yourself!

Hello everyone!  This is really exciting and I'm very humbled to be able to connect with so many amazing entrepreneurs!  Thank you @cpieri for this opportunity and Thank you to HubSpot for ELEVATE!  

 

My name is Joe Simons, Founder and CEO of a brand-new company just trying to get it's legs under them, Light Mynd!  We're just out of the idea/conceptualization phase and are working on our social media/web presence.  We're putting together wireframes and mockups over the next couple weeks and hope to have the website going by the middle of July.  

 

Light Mynd aims to deliver social-emotional learning content to 21st century K-12 students through the use of a web platform and VR w/biofeedback for measurable outcomes.  

 

I am located in Iowa, but I have a business associate in Des Moines, Iowa and another in Chicago, Illinois.  We've been collaborating remotely for a few months now and it's worked well for us.

 

I hope to get some amazing relationships out of ELEVATE and to learn a lot more!  I'm looking for mentors that have a solid knowledge in building an EdTech SAAS business, with contacts for fundraising as well.  Through our customer discovery interviews, what we're proposing is desperately needed and everyone loves the idea.  We've even got 3 school district superintendents ready to beta test once we have an MVP completed.

 

My favorite dessert would have to be anything milk chocolate.  I'm partial to Reese's peanut butter cups too!  

 

I look forward to connecting with everyone!
