About e180

e180 was founded in 2011 as a social enterprise and is now a certified and award-winning B Corporation. This means we’ve made a public commitment to using our business to create a positive and measurable impact in the world.

Our flagship product, Braindate, enables global communities to experience human and transformative learning moments based on knowledge-sharing and courageous conversations. Our mission remains unchanged: unleashing human greatness by helping people learn from one another while fostering a deep sense of belonging.

More specifically, Braindate works with major international enterprise clients (e.g., NVIDIA, Salesforce, Atlassian, Hubspot, Cloudflare, Workday, SXSW, TED, etc.) to transform traditional networking into authentic connections between participants at their flagship events. In 2025, Braindate was named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies and Best Event Technology for Networking at the Event Tech Live Awards.
