In 2020, CarpeDM joined the Tech for an Equitable Future program, seeking advanced CRM and user engagement tools with expert support. This led us to Braze, empowering CarpeDM to create tailored campaigns that keep users engaged and informed throughout their dating journey. CarpeDM was chosen to conduct a case study thanks to the success of our campaigns, particularly our customer experience and user engagement features. The Braze team analyzed our startup program companies and found that CarpeDM owns 40 of the top 50 highest-performing campaigns. This study also highlights how our product is purposefully designed for scalability. Kudos to the CarpeDM marketing and development teams for their outstanding work integrating Braze!

Thank you to the team at Charlottesville Business Innovation Council (CBIC) for inviting me to screen Show Her the Money and speak on an entrepreneurship panel discussing my experience as a female founder! Not only was the film fantastic, but it also features one of my favorite founder friends Jasmine Jones! I loved seeing her business highlighted alongside the businesses of the other women in the film. I also loved that my 16y/o nephew got the see the film with me and he learned so much. Our ride home was filled with him asking questions about my journey as a startup founder. Great bonding time 😊 If you haven't seen Show Her the Money, please support! The documentary follows female investors, connectors, and founders as they each navigate the male-dominated landscape that is venture and angel investing. Thank you Adeola Ajani, MBA for snapping a few pictures and engaging with the panel! 🖤
