- Cactus and Culture
Event tech
Cactus and Culture is an event curation and community-building organization headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The company was founded in 2022 by three Black women, Leandres, Terren, and Ambra, who identified a need for more social and professional networking events specifically for and by Black people in the Phoenix area. The idea was reportedly sparked during an Uber ride where the founders were lamenting the lack of such events, and the driver suggested they create them. The organization's primary focus is to connect and empower the local Black community by hosting a variety of events designed to foster genuine connections and social engagement. These events range from casual happy hours and themed kickball games to more formal mixers like the "Black Excellence Night". By curating these experiences, Cactus and Culture aims to create a welcoming space for Black professionals, creatives, and long-time residents, as well as newcomers to the Phoenix area, to meet, collaborate, and build lasting relationships. As of 2022, the company had already hosted over 30 events and collaborated with 17 other organizations. In addition to its own events, the firm offers a suite of services for external clients. These services include full-service and partial event planning, event consultation, corporate event facilitation for meetings and conferences, and strategic paid advertising campaigns on social media and digital platforms to boost brand visibility. Cactus and Culture also actively partners with local businesses, nonprofits, and community groups to support and uplift organizations dedicated to improving the Phoenix community.

- Callingly
Marketing
Callingly operates as a lead response automation platform, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The core of Callingly's service is to automatically connect salespeople with inbound leads via a phone call within seconds of a lead submitting their information through a web form, landing page, or CRM. When a new lead is generated, the system instantly rings the designated sales team based on customizable scheduling and routing rules. The first agent to answer is greeted with a "Whispertext," which provides key information about the lead before connecting the call. This process is designed to capitalize on the significant increase in conversion rates—reportedly as high as 391%—when leads are contacted within the first 60 seconds. While the call is being initiated, the lead simultaneously receives an automated SMS to introduce the agent and inform them to expect a call. The business model is subscription-based, with revenue generated from monthly plans such as Business, Agency, and Enterprise tiers. These plans are structured month-to-month without annual contracts and vary by the number of included users, with options for additional users at a set cost. The company primarily targets industries where speed-to-lead is critical, including real estate, mortgage and loan, insurance, home services, and automotive sectors. Callingly also offers a whitelabel option for marketing agencies, allowing them to offer the service under their own brand. The platform provides a suite of features to support sales team management and performance tracking. All calls are recorded and logged, with analytics and call outcomes synced back to the client's CRM, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Managers can access a dashboard to monitor metrics like who called a lead, the number of calls made, and the average response time. The system also includes an automated follow-up sequence of calls and texts if the initial connection is not made. Callingly integrates with a wide range of CRMs and other platforms through webhooks and services like Zapier, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive.

- Camp Social
Media
Camp Social operates as an events and community platform addressing the rising issue of adult loneliness by creating immersive, women-only sleepaway camps. The company was founded in May 2023 by Liv Schreiber, who drew from her personal experiences with loneliness after moving to New York City and her professional background in digital marketing and community building. Schreiber previously launched Brand Caffeine, a digital marketing agency, in 2019 and Hot and Social, a community for in-person meet-ups, in 2022. The business organizes three-day weekend retreats in the Pocono Mountains, designed to foster in-real-life connections among women aged 21 and older. A core principle of the model is that attendees are encouraged to come alone, with the company stating that 99% of campers arrive solo and 100% leave with new friends. The camps feature a blend of nostalgic activities like archery and arts & crafts, alongside modern wellness pursuits such as pickleball, yoga, and meditation. Revenue is generated primarily through ticket sales for these events, which have seen rapid sell-out times, indicating strong market demand. An upcoming camp, for instance, priced at $880 per ticket, sold out within 24 hours. Beyond ticket sales, Camp Social employs a business model that integrates brand sponsorships as a key revenue stream. The company positions its events as an "influencer brand trip for the consumer," creating experiential marketing opportunities for brands to engage directly with their target audience. This strategy has attracted partnerships with major brands like Dunkin', Amazon Prime, and La Croix. The company has expanded its offerings from one to two camps per year to meet growing popularity. Initially hosted on its sister company's website, Hot and Social, Camp Social launched its own dedicated website in late 2025 to better showcase its offerings.
