diverse as growth marketing, recruiting, fundraising, legal quandaries, and more.
If you want to join but haven''t bought your ticket,
remember that all Extra Crunch annual subscribers get 20% off our tickets by emailing extracrunch@techcrunch.com
And if you can''t join, we will have synopses of some of the EC panels coming out in the following weeks.
Transfer your Extra Crunch Brex
Reward points to JetBlue
A while back, we added an Extra Crunch member benefit where all EC members can receive 100,000 Brex Rewards points
if they sign up for a new Brex account
Now, those points can also be transferred to JetBlue, perhaps for those fancy Mint seats between New York and SF
We are going to continue to add new member benefits, so do let us know if you have any interesting ideas or want to partner with us.
Follow
our new @extracrunch Twitter handle
Finally, we now have a new Twitter handle for Extra Crunch: @extracrunch
We will be retweeting all EC articles on the handle, and later on, will be exploring other ways to engage with members through Twitter
