How did you hear about Venture Cafe?
Through social media – I was intrigued by the topic: Panel discussion with several local Venture Capital firms.
What does Venture Cafe Phoenix mean to you?
It is way more than the other so called networking events, featuring high caliper speakers with relevant topics and most importantly a pretty sophisticated audience, it makes it worth attending and networking. Great support staff!
Have you had any memorable connections at Venture Cafe Phoenix?
As a matter of fact, a couple: one was the original Judge Judy, who told me the story behind the TV Show and why she did not become the TV Judge Judy instead started a second career in the medical field!
What is your organization and what does it do?
METAXFASHION Inc. was founded by serial entrepreneur Brendan Gage and high-tech manufacturing expert Hermann Plank in 2022 – METAXFASHION it is a dApp (Decentralized Application) and your bridge to the Fashion Metaverse.
