Blake Mauri — Founder
I began my career during covid assisting at a venture capital and private equity firm, but as I spoke to and saw the passion of founders I realized this is the side I would prefer to be on. This being said I began my entrepreneurial journey. Now, I have spent the past 4 years of my life working to find a way to connect digital and physical selling in a simple and affordable way. I believe refining this system is essential to allow small businesses to survive and compete in a globalized world of large retailers. I embarked on this mission after watching my mom begin her poetry magazine and ultimately fail due to inability to get in front of customers and retain them. Over the course of time I have attempted to solve this issues in many ways, but ultimately have found success in connecting centralized in-person boutiques/gift shops to a decentralized online platform. Throughout this journey I have had to develop many skills included but not limited to: Customer discovery, product roadmapping, product management, technical development skills, analytics systems, employee management, strategic business planning, pitching and story telling, marketing / new product role out, financial modeling, and so much more. This personally is my favorite part of entrepreneurship as it forces you to learn grow and evolve every day. I have begun posting more about this journey on LinkIn to show this journey.
