Alexa Berube, Co-Founder of Reposite: $13.5 Million Raised to Redefine the Way You Plan Group Travel and Events

In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Alexa Berube, Co-founder of Reposite, a travel tech startup that’s raised $13.5 Million in funding, about why a seamless workplace/marketplace solution for group booking of events is long overdue. The days of long email chains and arduous phone calls are a thing of the past with Reposite’s comprehensive approach to connecting clients with the vendors and operators who make their events happen.

We also speak about how Alexa never planned to find herself in sales, how starting off in the events space gave her the inspiration for Reposite, why the group bookings realm of events planning is still way behind the times, and how Reposite established a sales flywheel that keeps their marketing mostly inbound.
