What happens when the business changes, but the reason you started building it doesn’t?
Joe and Hannah Feminella are building an ecosystem around one core idea: bringing people together in real life.
In the Season 1 finale of Born To Build, we talk about the evolution from First Round’s On Me to Lettuce, building The Brownstone Social, creating businesses that work together, knowing when to pivot without abandoning the bigger vision, and what it looks like to build alongside your partner while raising a family.
We also get into ambition, connection, curation, taking risks, knowing what opportunities to say no to, and why technology might be most powerful when it helps us spend less time on it.
