On January 23, 2024, history was made as Ava (Simone Garcia Johnson) became WWE’s youngest NXT General Manager. ✨

Last week, I had the opportunity to pitch DRAFTED on stage at the L'ATTITUDE conference, and let me tell you—it was an amazing learning experience. I’ve been fortunate enough to do a lot of public speaking throughout my Founder journey, but pitching your company hits on a whole new level. Standing on that stage, sharing the story of DRAFTED, our vision, challenges, and impact—there’s something deeply vulnerable about it. You’re not just presenting slides or stats; you’re laying out your heart, your sleepless nights, your team's relentless work, and your dream of making a real difference. Nothing quite prepares you for the vulnerability of asking people to believe in what you’ve built. But in our first month of fundraising, I've learned that it's not just about securing capital; it’s about finding partners who believe in your vision as much as you do and who see the potential to create real impact alongside you. That's been my biggest takeaway. I am grateful for the learning experience on such an incredible platform. We have big plans, and I’m more motivated than ever to see them through.
