Michael B.'s Linkedin Analytics

Michael is a three-time startup founder who believes in the power of events to connect people, support causes, grow organizations, change industries, and improve the world. His latest startup, InGo, embodies this passion and is dedicated to growing events. InGo helps grow some of the best events in the world, including Atlassian’s Teams, Money 2020, Informa’s Arab Health, DWTC’s GITEX, and TED, by driving 10x more referrals from their VIPs and other participants. InGo has been used by tens of millions of event participants and serves tens of thousands of events each year. InGo is LinkedIn’s premier event partner, has valuable partnerships with other social networks, and is the most effective way to grow events. Michael's passion for events stems from his experience in community growth and issue advocacy. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, he consulted for non-profits and spoke globally about leveraging social media to attract and lead supporters more effectively. In particular, he discovered techniques to reduce the cost of acquiring donors and volunteers by over 50%. Michael has spoken for over one hundred human rights non-profits across the US and around the world on how to build communities, emphasizing the massive untapped potential in human relationships. During his undergraduate years, Michael grew two significant communities: an international relations organization that launched a Model United Nations conference, and a higher education lobbying organization that registered a record number of students to vote. His interest in social connection deepened when he interned for a member of Parliament and wrote on the devolution of the European Union, ten years before what was ultimately called "Brexit."
