Accomplishments that we're proud of: The team is proud to have developed a solution that addresses a long-standing problem in the startup market and creates a mutually beneficial relationship between startups and users. We are proud to have leaped up our holders.
What we learned: Through building Promote Me, we learned about the complexities of the startup ecosystem, and how hard it is to promote and get a good frontend.
