No matter how you approach it, networking is always inevitable, particularly for entrepreneurs. And the number one issue when it comes to a lot of networking events is that they don’t deliver the results they always promise. But attendees aren’t the only ones who suffer from poorly coordinated and awkward networking events. Event hosts and sponsors lose out on the opportunities to collect valuable data about their attendees that can be used to determine audience demographics and adjust marketing and planning for all future events. So who is tackling this opportunity to help event hosts collect valuable data to host a successful event?
In today’s episode of the Powderkeg Podcast, you’ll hear from Ashlee Ammons, President and Co-founder of Mixtroz, a mobile application that allows event attendees to mix, meet and collaborate together through an online platform.
Ashlee had just 5 minutes on the Powderkeg stage to pitch her company Mixtroz to a live panel of investors and industry experts recently at our first-ever all virtual pitch event featuring some of the most innovative companies scaling in the United States. The three experts you’ll hear from in this episode include:
- Mandy Hasket, Leadership Consultant at ADVISA
- Phil Powell, Associate Dean of Academic Programs at Kelley School of Business, Indiana University
- J. Kelly Hoey, Angel Investor, Author, Speaker, and Podcast Host of BUILD YOUR DREAM NETWORK
Ashlee Ammons is the President and Co-Founder of Mixtroz. She is the 38th Black Female to raise over $1M in pre-seed funding. Ashlee also serves on the boards of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center and Tech Birmingham. She was a 2019 Birmingham Business Journal 40 Under 40 recipient as well as Birmingham 40 Under 40 of the decade and Business Journals National Rising Star. Tune in to hear more!
