Catch It

We had our first 100 paying customers come through the platform this weekend 🚀 I'm still energized and inspired after an incredible Catch It weekend at Sneaker Con. From setup to connecting with luxury resellers and top brands, every moment reinforced why we're here with Catch It, building the tools SMBs and creators will need to scale to enterprise levels of commerce. Sneaker Con was all motion and money-heat (cool/culturally relevant shoes and clothes) flying off shelves, deals getting done, and the hustle in full effect, showing just how alive the resale game is right now! We're thrilled to see Sneaker Con's focus on bringing tech into the reseller space, and we're looking forward to partnering with them to ensure a strong Catch It presence at future events. The journey continues!

Shawn Filer and I are thrilled to share a recap of our experience of activating Piedmont Park at 404DAY in Atlanta, GA, where we conducted our first live test of CatchIt (DidYouCatchIt) with our private alpha version as a sponsor alongside Bacardi, The Coca-Cola Company and the Official 404DAY organizers. We successfully onboarded creators and initiated our first “waves” at our Patreon VIP Booth Activation; we activated 20 influencers with a combined reach of over 10 million followers. The feedback we received was invaluable, and we’re eager to continue being the go-to platform for brands seeking to understand and engage with Gen Z on a large scale while digitizing word-of-mouth marketing at their brand activations. Witnessing our vision come to life in real-time is a rewarding milestone for us as founders, and we’re energized by the opportunity to collaborate with more brands to elevate their brand activations and social media ROI further.

It’s always a fantastic time building in the Austin, TX, and Atlanta, GA tech ecosystem. It's incredible to be one of the first people to greet the Mayor of my hometown, Atlanta, GA when he arrived in the Austin, TX, Antler Office. It’s a full circle moment to be in a position to be able to meet with the Mayor one on one 14 hours from my hometown. I remember when Andre Dickens would join us at LEAD Center For Youth practice or support one of our many LEAD events when I was a high school student at Carver Early College. It is no surprise that he is the Mayor of Atlanta, and his investment in our communities is evident through stories like mine. He was always present in the inner city, leading by example every step of the way. Thank you Andre Dickens for not only being an amazing Mayor to the City of Atlanta but also being a Major League Citizen as coined by C.J. Stewart & Kelli Stewart. I’m excited about the future we are building with our startup, where we focus on “digitizing word of mouth.” Our first prototype has just launched and I cannot wait to see what’s in store. My co-founder Shawn Filer and I are grateful for the feedback we have received so far from the creator economy. Our team, like our political leaders across the country, understand how vital “attribution” and overcoming the “algorithm” in a crowded and chaotic internet is. Our technology is positioned to solve this BILLION dollar problem.
