Company Summary

We have just completed our private BETA and are scheduled to launch the public BETA in Fall/Winter. Our online platform will initially allow individuals and companies to create their own profiles, communicate, and post jobs.

The offline component involves CULTURESCENE events held around the country, with upcoming events in LA, DC, and NYC.
