Venmo Documentary Red Carpet Premiere

Save the Date! Join us in San Francisco for a star-studded documentary premiere of The Story of Venmo, presented by Basis Theory and produced by The Front Lines. Venmo was founded by two best friends, Andrew Kortina and Iqram Magdon-Ismail, who met as freshman year college roommates. The film traces Venmo's journey from a scrappy idea that formed out of their friendship to the ubiquitous blue app on nearly everyone's phone, covering the early wins, the setbacks, and everything in between. The evening will feature drinks, snacks, and a red carpet with plenty of photo ops. We will be rolling out the red carpet for this premiere! Come dressed to impress, or keep it casual - Black Tie Optional.
