Philadelphia’s Morgan Berman is the founder of sustainability app My MilkCrate, which promotes “sustainable options for dining, shopping, transit, and many other lifestyle categories.” She took part in the $400,000 Pressure Cooker event at the 2014 Forbes Under 30 Summit in Philadelphia. Berman shared her experiences with the Philadelphia conferences and the state of Philly’s start-up community upon learning that Forbes’ Under 30 Summit is moving to Boston.
“We won Startup of the Year at Under 30” still turns a lot of heads. But, the lesson I’ve learned, and that I think Philly has learned, is that big names and tenuous external relationships aren’t nearly as important as the more long-lasting, homegrown relationships you can build right here in Philly.
