On next September, Tampa Bay Wave participating startups are gonna pitch their solutions for investors. Neris reveals how he is getting ready for the big moment and what are his expectations:
“From the ease of use to the preoccupation with data privacy, there´s a lot of challenges Event Planners and Agencies face at the moment. There´s no shortage of preoccupations for these professionals, so our mission is to provide a complete all-in-one solution.
Our new and current users have access to a drag-and-drop tool and full customer success support from the most basic plan, so they can spend their time on what really matters: planning, managing and delivering awesome experiences.
Some Media/PR/Event agencies actually get surprised when they realize our platform can be used throughout their operations. It fits from a simple activity to a complex multi-day conference or familiarization tour for executive.
And last, but not least, GDPR is here and we´re making sure to follow every single legislation aspect and best recommendations when it comes to keeping data safe. Therefore, that includes not selling customer data to any other company.”
