StartupSTL: Pitch Competition & Startup Fair
We all have heard the words "Podcasting" & "NFT" in the last few years. The meteoric rise of both of these industries was a hot-button topic for many people, and you know Venture Cafe, if there's something people want to talk about, we will be sure to bring it here! So that's just what we did, during our new focus for the month of September, "Industry Collaboration". If you missed what we talked about, you can find everything and anything right here, so let's get into it!
We all have heard the words “Podcasting” & “NFT” in the last few years. The meteoric rise of both of these industries was a hot-button topic for many people, and you know Venture Cafe, if there’s something people want to talk about, we will be sure to bring it here! So that’s just what we did, during our new focus for the month of September, “Industry Collaboration”. If you missed what we talked about, you can find everything and anything right here, so let’s get into it!
To start this week, we had a fan favorite, a recurring resource for many who strive to bridge their Venture or mission beyond the pond. Devon Moody Graham, Chief Solutions Officer at CEOMom Empire returned to give us her insights and thoughts into how she and other businesses can utilize the tools you might have to access a wealth of innovation from the other side of the globe.
Then we had Michael Fritzius, Owner of podcastify.me who spoke to the Third Wave of Podcasting. The first wave was done by industry professionals, who had the equipment to tap in early. The Second Wave was via platforms; anyone & everyone could create a podcast and talk about whatever they were feeling privy to. Now we are in the Third Wave as Michael alluded to, which means that Podcasting is becoming a credible way to increase your business potential and rapport.
Following the breakdown of Podcasting, Myrina Renaissance Otey-Myton spoke to NFT’s and their use outside of the pop culture sphere. Myrina is a NFT Educator and Photographer who dove into how to set up your crypto wallet along with why NFTs are on the rise along with Cryptocurrency. She highlighted the many different ecosystems and regions that are now endorsing these two methods of currency as valid transactions & how you could do the same.
This was our first gathering around the idea of Industry Collaboration, finding & leveraging mature enterprises to scale your venture, or to better understand the importance of building relationships across market sectors. This will be our focus throughout the month of September, so keep on the lookout here on our website or on our socials, to find out what we will feature next. Until next time, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
