Morgan has a passion for sharing her story and regularly travels the country speaking about her experiences building a successful impact company, being a non-technical founder of a tech company, and jiu jitsu fighter. Some of her favorite talks include; an international press briefing at The Global Entrepreneurship Summit at The Hague, speaking at Grace Hopper, keynoting for Wharton's Social Impact Summit as well as being a Featured Keynote Speaker at the Global Women in STEM Conference in Atlanta, and giving the Cum Laude speech at her alma mater.

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT TOPICS 

From my professional experience starting and running an impact focused startup tech company:

 

  • "Be Coachable: How to start (and pivot) a startup (several times)"

  • "Strategy over Strength: Lessons learned as a woman in tech and a woman jiu jitsu fighter"

  • "Learning on The Job: Leveraging interns for win-win outcomes"

From my experience building a company that helps mission-driven organizations use modern technology to engage, communicate with and track their audience:

 

  • "It's Not Too Early or Too Late: Audience engagement with mobile tech"

  • "Reach 20K people for $500: Building an automated funnel for nonprofits"

"Dear Morgan,
I truly enjoyed your presentation yesterday at the Women in Leadership Summit. I love how your start-up business lessons learned tied in so well with lessons you learned while training in Jiu-Jitsu. Great job!! 
- Best, Nadeene"

"Awesome hearing from @morganberman - founder & CEO of milkcrate - on entrepreneurship, shit storms, and jiu jitsu. Thanks for an enlightening and authentic session!" - Laura

"Enjoyed your session...especially your integration of martial arts. I did a few years of Muay Thai and MMA. Although a "strike" discipline might not be best to apply to business :)" - Tonya

"I want to thank you so very much, of behalf of myself and the Ursinus students, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with us. The students found your journey very inspiring!  Your openness, frankness and candor were appreciated. We learned about grit, tenacity, innovation and smarts from you!" 
- Maureen Cumpstone, Entrepreneur-in-Residence U-Imagine Center for Integrative and Entrepreneurial Studies
