The Challenges
The interviewer asked about the difficulties we’ve faced over the years.
I mentioned how starting the company literally the day before 9/11 was just the beginning of learning to adapt through major challenges like the financial crisis and COVID-19.
Our Mission
We discussed what makes cityHUNT different from other companies in our space.
I explained how we give back by using a portion of our proceeds to create scholarships for non-profits and schools because we believe no one should be shut out from “being more awesome together.”

The conversation touched on how COVID completely changed our business model.
I shared how we developed our virtual platform in just weeks and how the pandemic actually reinforced our core mission of helping people deepen relationships with others.
Our Culture
I briefly talked about what drives us as a company.
I described our passion for infusing gamification, positive psychology, and mindfulness into everything we do, always with the goal of making people more awesome together.
