There is a lot of sh*t going on in the world these days and we can’t solve it all, but we looked out at the audience at the last PORCH Potluck and saw smiles, laughs, new friendships, and so much more.
It was beautiful.
The 33 different countries, cultures, backgrounds, and stories:
🇮🇪 🇹🇹 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 🇵🇰 🇦🇪 🇭🇺 🇨🇳 🇨🇦 🇧🇴 🇳🇬 🇹🇷 🇰🇷 🇺🇿 🇮🇷 🇺🇦 🇭🇰 🇹🇳 🇵🇹 🇧🇷 🇮🇳 🇪🇹 🇸🇩 🇮🇶 🇸🇬 🇪🇬 🇲🇦 🇨🇴 🇯🇴 🇳🇱 🇱🇰 🇩🇴
The first PORCH Potluck of 2025 was on Thursday and I am proud to say it was our biggest and most successful yet.
There were over 100 international entrepreneurs from 33 different countries.
The Highlights
🔦 There were dishes from over 33 different countries! It may just be the Guinness World Records for most diverse potluck 🗺️
🔦 We did the PORCH Pitch Circle and heard 10 second pitches from anyone who wanted to step up!
🔦 Played the PORCH Potluck Trivia Challenge!!
🔦 We played an awesome social BINGO game.
🔦 We gave away over $5000 in prizes including WebSummit LLC tickets, Lavender & Pod subscriptions, tons of gift cards, and more!
🔦 We gave away our first-ever PORCH Foundation grant with Matrix Venture Studio!! 2 winners of $1,500 + 4 x $200 runner-up prizes!
These pictures are what PORCH stands for. It's what community should be.
Events don't need to be boring panels or presentations...
