A few things we’re proud of …☻

Hired 2 interns that we’re so excited to welcome to the team in January!

Brought dozens of strangers together and watched them become friends in The Club

Overheard someone talking about “this cool new platform called GoodThings” at Reanimator in Passyunk :)

Helped hundreds of friends and strangers get hired, increase sales, gain new customers, and get people out to their events through our website and social media

Closed our BofA accounts and started banking with PFCU.

Unlike banks, credit unions are focused on the financial well-being of their members, rather than generating profits for shareholders.

Built GoodThings :)
