WeKey is an innovative peer to peer mobile application and travel community allowing our members in New England to exchange or ‘swap’ apartments/homes for the weekend. We are currently participating in MassChallenge, one of the top start-up accelerators in the world.
Users are able to pay an annual membership to access an exclusive, vetted community of home exchanges. WeKey is in their beta launch in four NE cities and will be offering free membership during this time. Those four cities are Providence, Boston, Portland (ME) and Portsmouth (NH) with expansion to NYC, VT, ski towns and Montreal slated for later this year into 2019. WeKey strives to create a curated, safe and verified community of travel enthusiasts and weekend explorers. For more information on who we are, please visit www.wekey.co. Our mobile application is currently available to download in the iTunes store! If you have any questions, please reach out to the WeKey COO, Grant Cohen at [email protected]
During our Providence launch event with Sprout, we will be offering free beer, wine, food, music and prizes!

This month’s TEN sponsor is Speaking of Success, LLC. I have a new workshop coming up at the end of October that I am really jazzed about, and I will be telling you all about it (and offering special pricing to those in attendance). The workshop is “Getting Noticed in a Digital Age – Storytelling for Business”, and I will be giving you a sneak peek. I hope you can make it – should be a great night of networking!
At most networking events you’re lucky if you get to talk to 9 or 10 people. Even then, are you delivering your message or just talking about the weather or the latest news headlines? At Total Exposure Networking (TEN), we make sure that you get to deliver your pitch to everyone in the room! Our unique TEN format consists of starting out with food, drink, and general conversation. Then, when everyone is there, we pick 5 people, and they each have one minute to give their pitch to everyone in the room. Now for the good part – we then take 10 minutes to allow anyone to talk with those who just spoke to ask questions, learn more, and make appointments. Then, we pick 5 more and do it again, and again, using the 5/10 format until everyone has had the opportunity to deliver their pitch to everyone in the room! A perfect TEN!
