Badassery Magazine Venture Pop 2017 Special Addition | Page 3

! s s a d a b y He We have a confession. We've pretty much been freaking out with excitement since we decided to become a VenturePOP sponsor. Why? Two reasons. First, it's New Orleans.. come on now. And second, VenturePOP was built on the foundation of community — which is what Badassery Magazine is all about. We are a communi- ty for bosses by bosses. We built Badassery Magazine not only as a support system for creative entrepreneurs, but as a platform for you to share your expertise, find your tribe and increase your visibility. That's why we decided to publish this exclusive issue just for you. Not only do we want to learn about you and what you offer, we want everyone else to know what a badass you are. So, use this magazine as a tool to get to know your fellow VenturePOP-ians and meet them in real life. The connections you make here are ones that will last for a long time. In fact, you never know what kind of awesome collaborations are in store for you in the future. (FUN FACT: We met at a conference and launched Badassery Magazine in less than six months after meeting.) Don't be shy — come and say hi! We want to meet you too. xoxo, y h t a K & m a S
