Next Gen started as an event that barely sold any tickets. Today, the community reaches tens of thousands of entrepreneurs through weekly emails, daily Facebook group activity, and a yearly conference.
Next Gen was started by Dylan Gambardella and Justin Lafazan, who had a vision to provide resources to anyone and everyone in the nascent stages of building something for themselves.
Today, they help leading brands like Target, Capital One, and Dell access, engage with, and influence the next generation.
In this conversation with 1517 Fund’s Zak Slayback, Dylan and Justin explain the early hustle they undertook to launch the first Summit, how they collectively bargain for their community, and their commitment to replying to every question and ask.
