Gina Bianchini, the entrepreneur, investor and co-founder of Mighty Networks. Her mission at Mighty Networks is to usher in a new era of digital businesses built on the power of community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

To understand how to make social technologies work you need to understand how people systems work.
Understanding what size community your customer wants or can cope with easily is very important. Not every brand needs thousands of members in their own space.
To innovate, stay curious and push yourself. Embrace the new. 
There is a massive connection between communities and habit reinforcement. 

 
BEST MOMENTS
'I used to think of myself as the Rip Van Winkle in terms of the dot com boom’
'I actually went into finance because it wasn’t my ninja skill.’
'While I’m a community maximalist, I’m not a community maximilist.’
'How do we create a path for people to raise their hand and go deeper to get even more value?’
