7 years of MarsBased 🚀

A very special episode released TODAY!
We wanted to celebrate our seven years as a company with a very special episode. We decided to take questions from the community, our closest friends and colleagues from the industry. The response was overwhelming, and we ended up with so many questions that we decided we're going to record an episode of Q&A with the founders every few months. Don't miss this first one!
Listen to the Episode!
Over the last weeks...
We've interviewed Liz Dunn Carroll (ex-Technorati, Verizon), Chiara Massironi & Kevin Whinnery (TwilioQuest), Albert Castellana (StakeHound), Bernat Llana (Antfluence), Laura Gascón (The Skeye) and Susan Prado (Inetum) to talk about angel investing, dissecting TwilioQuest (product, tech, community), decentralized finance (DeFi), closing a company, how consulting firms provide value and innovation to clients, and much more. Check them out 👇🏻
