What do Facebook, Peloton, and Nextdoor have in common? They are internet powerhouses that have grown through the power of communities. On Facebook alone, there are 70 million admins and moderators running active Facebook groups.

Online groups have grown leaps and bounds in the past decade, but their growth has accelerated at dizzying speed in the past year due to the pandemic. Without the ability to connect in person, many global citizens turned to online communities to create community and belongingness with others.

Virtual communities have not only been reserved for the big players. Many niche communities and startups have formed in the past few years. During this talk, meet David Berkowitz, Founder and CEO of Serial Marketer and Lan Phan, Founder and CEO of community of SEVEN who will discuss the power of communities and their experience building them. REGISTER.

This event is co-sponsored by the NYU Law Venture Fund and Social Enterprise & Startup Law Group.
