While Betsy isn't a real person, she does represent two very influential women in our founder’s life: her grandmothers.

Betsy

Together, my grandmothers taught me that you must always know the etiquette for the party you're walking into and once you're there, make sure you have some fun too. I've taken this lesson and applied it to much of my life. And, I find that it applies particularly well to social media. Because, after all, we are still talking to people on the other side of that tweet, now, aren't we.
