Each week in the New Tech Newsletter we feature a Spotlight Q&A with founders, angels, New Tech alumni presenters, and other people or companies in our community we believe you’d like to learn about. Reach out if you'd like to recommend a startup, founder, angel, accelerator, or New Tech alumni presenter for us to spotlight for the PNW tech community!
This week’s spotlight is a flashback in honor of the upcoming Socially Inept Roasts taking place in Seattle this week. Their mission is to celebrate the tech scene by roasting the hell out of it. Co-Founder Austin Nasso talks through their process below!

What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned since you first presented at NTNW?
The importance of being adaptable. For years all of our revenue was coming from live events. We’ve always planned on diversifying our income streams but were forced to do it on an expedited timeline due to the pandemic. In hindsight, we should have heeded the insider tip from our friend at Zoom, who told us in the middle of 2019 that their labs were working on “something real exciting”.
Did the pandemic cause your company to change/pivot your business model or strategy?
Initially during the pandemic we set out to answer the question “would it suck for our company to make no money?” The answer, “eh not really”, was surprising and reassuring as we considered the disgusting heaps of cash we stockpiled while slaving in tech and the fact that Nikita’s father is a Russian oligarch. We soon shifted our focus toward content creation and growing our social media following. We plan to continue to focus on the digital media side of business even after the pandemic because we believe that computers are the future (™).
