'A Great Friendship'

"Working with Embolden was always a collaboration and a great friendship. In the early days of our website, we would throw challenges at Embolden that no one had tried before: interactive scholarship databases, self-generating nonprofit and consultant directories, risky navigation. I think Ann-Marie and her gang enjoyed the chase to invent something new even more than we did! They still do."
