How a Startup Called Networked is Unlocking New Opportunities for All
Origin and Mission
The origin story of Networked is compelling: Spencer Lussier (CEO) and Grant Lussier (CDO) co-founded the company, drawing inspiration from their first venture, Game Change Agency (GCA). Today, GCA stands as one of the world’s premier private curated communities for key decision-makers and influencers.
Inspired by GCA’s success, Spencer envisioned expanding their impact globally by democratizing networking and collaboration technologies, providing social and commercial opportunities to people from all backgrounds. Thus, he launched Networked to revolutionize networking, collaborations, and meaningful interactions on an unprecedented digital scale, becoming a force for global positive impact.
Networked experienced an oversubscribed initial funding round and is quickly moving towards its next round to accelerate its mission of helping communities thrive and providing life-changing opportunities to as many people as possible.
Networked aims to advance global equality by offering community-specific technology to organizations of all sizes and types, including both for-profit and nonprofit entities, ensuring that everyone can benefit from its platform.
