    I’m your host Maxim Davis, and today on Seeking startups, we have Arnab Raychaudhuri, the co-founder of Zomo Fit.
    Zomo Fit is a digital platform that enables fitness creators to effortlessly provide virtual fitness classes to their clients. In 2020, Arnab felt firsthand the challenges of working out virtual, and even though he had the idea for a while, he knew that was the right time to build something better. So he quit his job and started Zomo Fit. With previous founding experience, a team of 6, and content creators using and paying for the service, Arnab believes he has what it takes to make Zomo Fit a dominant player in the virtual fitness arena.

    I'm your host Maxim Davis, and today on Seeking startups, we have Marc LaManque, the co-founder of Cadenzo.
     
    At the young age of 7, Marc knew that he wanted to become a musician and, specifically, a piano player. Even though his parents were skeptical, they provided him with support and resources. Before long, Marc was occupied in the music world. In middle school, Marc was doing gigs and performing in bands. And by high school, he was the lead in the school's musical. At this point, Marc really thought he had found his calling. But Marc's openness and drive eventually lead him down a different path. A path where entrepreneurship was at the core. Finally, these two worlds collided when Marc, alongside his co-founders Andres and Troy, started Cadenzo: A platform that helps musicians and venues streamline the booking process. Listen to this fascinating talk about Marc's journey and his plan to bring entertainment booking out of the dark ages!

    #10 Reimagining Charitable Giving | The Startup Podcast Delivering You Deal Flow | Regulation Crowdfunding Investing in Arbol on Wefunder

    Arbol's funding round closes on 4/30/23. The information discussed in this episode is relevant up to this date.
    I’m your host Maxim Davis, and today on Seeking startups, we have David Gonzalez and Favio Osorio, the co-founders of Arbol.
    Even though David and Favio grew up in two different parts of the world, both of them saw the value of education in helping the members of their communities climb the socioeconomic ladder. After college, their corporate roles in business and finance allowed them to gain a unique perspective. It became evident that the members of their communities didn’t have the proper tools, mentorship, and financial support. And so from this experience, David and Favio created Arbol, a platform that connects low-income students to financial and community support. Listen in to this insightful talk about their experiences and how David and Favio plan to drive change.
