A NETWORK OF PEOPLE SMARTER THAN ME

Kat is incredibly thoughtful and insightful. She taught me that I can develop my ideas further if I could sit down and collect my thoughts and then prioritize what I needed to do to move further. Kat also has a large network of entrepreneurs and female founders and I made some great connections and joined new founder friend groups in Buffalo because of her. I Highly recommend her to help sort out your business development struggles!
