In this week's episode, we talk with May Piementa CEO & co-founder of Vee. https://www.veevolunteers.com/ is the #1 Platform for employees and companies to connect them with volunteer opportunities. May, is only 21 and has already accomplished so much. In this conversation, we go deep into her background, what motivates her, and how she was able to raise $2.4 Million from investors at such a young age. If I had a list of people who I think are going to make a huge impact in this world and inspires 1000s - May is definitely the top 10.
