Entrepreneurs do not fit a cookie cutter mold. Our first meetings was with Knotzland founder Nisha Blackwell, who left a job at a coffee shop to start making bowties with reclaimed fabric.
Our 2nd meeting was with Dr. Matt Keener, who is working to improve access to mental health resources through telemedicine.
Despite very different backgrounds, both are on a mission to build impactful businesses. We want to help them tell their story and share their message.

We've already pitched Piper's Documentary-as-a-Service to a lot of people. Some of our most insightful feedback comes from fellow entrepreneurs in the world of media production. We're really thankful to Nick and Jeff (from Covalent) for workshopping our business with us.
Later, speaking at Carlow, we got the opportunity to discuss how our business works, why digital fluency is a huge asset, and how to think about the risk associated with starting a company.
