PartySlate's Julie Novack on quitting her job, raising $15M, and surviving the pandemic
Summary
In 2014, everything was going well for Julie Novack. She had spent her career at digital marketing agencies, at times with $50M budgets and in charge of 250 people. It was a fulfilling career that most would dream of. Except Julie's dream was the idea that she couldn't stop talking about for years - a content-rich marketplace that inspires people planning events and connects them with the leading event companies across the country and the world -- all in one place. That idea was PartySlate, which now has raised over $15M and has over 15,000 users.In 2014, everything was going well for Julie Novack.
