Framework is an all-in-one tool for business teams, which can be used for project management, sales pipeline & customer relationship management, wiki & documentation, team communication (team chat, voice & video calls).
Emily Bettison - Founder, STAK
A professional singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and CEO of the startup STAK. STAK equips musicians with unique vocal and musical samples. Millions of electronic music producers around the world rely on vocal samples to create songs. Unfortunately, the music industry lacks these vital sound samples and, of those that do exist, many are not of high quality, nor can they be easily altered to fit the creator's vision. STAK is addressing this issue head-on by producing high-quality, naturally processed sound samples that help expand creative possibilities.
