🎬 The Second Drop: Two More Founders From StoryLab You Need to Meet — Plus a Special Invitation from Us!
Dec 22, 2025 2:11 pm
🎥 A Message From Us: Why We Built StoryLab (and Why You Should Join)
We created StoryLab because we know a pitch alone isn't enough - people need a story they can feel. Over four weeks, StoryLab helps entrepreneurs (like you!) transform a plain elevator pitch into a powerful 60–90 second pitch video you can send to funders, partners, and clients.
Want to see the videos coming out of StoryLab? Last week, we shared the first three videos from our inaugural StoryLab cohort. Today, we’re excited to drop the final two stories. We invite you to watch and share these videos below in support of our StoryLab participants. Your engagement helps their stories travel further and open new doors.
Featured Founder Stories — Part 2
Kate Graham — People Systems Consultant
Kate’s journey began with a desire to create meaningful results — not just beautiful work. When an economic shift disrupted her path, she leaned into what she does best: building people-centered systems that help teams thrive. Her story is a powerful reminder that when businesses invest in their people, everything changes. Watch Kate's story.
Margarette Leandre — The Power of Pivoting
Margarette’s entrepreneurial journey was sparked during the uncertainty of the pandemic, when layoffs and instability forced her to rethink what security really meant. Through adaptability, resilience, and confidence earned through experience, she built a business rooted in authenticity. Her story is a testament to the power of pivoting — and trusting yourself along the way. Watch Maggie's story.
