Glad to hear it @britt_joiner - I've spent my career laying the ground work to develop these tools along with the rest of the team.
I was laid off from my first job in tech. We were a small startup with signs of Product-Market Fit. We signed The Walt Disney Company and Fisher-Price, Inc. and over 25 creators to use our software to make interactive books on the newly released iPad. 14 months in, the market discovered that games sold like hot cakes on the iPad and interactive books (at least at that time) not so much.
What happened next is unbelievable:
💖Community: Team members, external partners, artists, anyone and everyone I ever worked with during my time at Tall Chair became community for life. My former CEO, Dan Brazelton was one of the first to congratulate me when I started my company, and I nearly teared up (fine fine, I DID tear up) when I saw The Bitter Housewife (his new endeavor) on store shelves in SF.
🤝 Trust: I had not talked to leader Ryan Modjeski, one of the many artists-producers we had worked with at Tall Chair, for ten years. I reached out when I started roadmap. He said yes ASAP to help how ever he could, has joined us for 6 monthly hiring mixers, met with every roadmap member who reached out, supporting over 155 people to make astounding career pivots.
🌅 Impact: When you work with teams who give it their all for the cause, the impact continues to grow. The third startup I joined, Aura - a FinTech company working towards economic empowerment - failed during the pandemic. Four new companies working towards economic empowerment have been born by Aura alum: Almanac.io, Roadmap.net, SeedFi, Alvva!
