Mixtroz
Leading provider of event engagement softwareASHLEE AMMONS & KERRY SCHRADER
“Creative Startups believed in us, gave us that infusion of support exactly when we most needed it.”
Founded in 2015, Mixtroz is now a leading provider of event engagement software, connecting people through customizable networking solutions. Using the power of technology with face-to-face connectivity, Mixtroz’s software tools allow large organizations and teams to capture data, create cross-sectional functionality, and achieve higher profitability.
Winner of our Creative Business Cup in 2017, Mixtroz credits Creative Startups with recognizing their talent, drive, and growth potential at a time when the business was struggling and the founders were considering throwing in the towel.
Mixtroz has since raised $1 million in seed funding through an investment led by the Black Star Fund!
