Happy 2021, Team! I’m not a New Year’s Resolutions type of gal, but I do think it’s a great time to reflect on how far you’ve come as an individual - and as a startup. And in the spirit of reflection and celebration, I’m excited to roll out the first Celebrate Startup Milestones post of 2021 (you can check out the other issues by clicking right here).
This series is all about celebrating the “small” wins a startup accomplishes. After all, there is so much more to building a company than landing funding, going through an IPO, or being acquired.
I’m excited to highlight eight awesome companies this Monday morning, check them out below. And scroll to the end for a link to submit your own personal startup milestone.
