Remote Work! Brennan Keough is building the world's best virtual events and making employees everywhere a little bit happier.
In March 2020 when COVID first hit the US, Mystery was a thriving live events business, weeks away from raising millions in a Series A. Seven days later it was virtually illegal.
Now a few years and 3 pivots later they just raised $18.5M from Greylock.
Joe and Brennan discuss remote work, why it can be so transactional, and how high-performing teams build trust in remote environments.
You’ll hear about how Mystery designs events, which FAANG company likes R-rated comedy, and pick up a few tips on how to retain employees.
